25 achieved another milestone with the successful preliminary test of the
Sky Bus. The Sky Bus moved on its own power using sophisticated 3-phase AC
motor technology supplied by ELIN EBG of Austria. It was a momentous

manager (public relations) Baban Ghadge informed that full-scale
pre-commissioning trials on the test track would be conducted from the first
week of September. (GT)

monitor their activities. (H)
CONG MOVE TO TOPPLE BJP: The Congress leaders in Goa have once again renewed

ISIDORE LIKELY TO BE BJP CANDIDATE: Decks have been cleared for fielding
former MLA Isidore Fernandes as the candidate of BJP from Poinguinim
constituency in the ensuing by-polls fixed on 13 October this year. (GT)
TRUCKERS TO INTENSIFY STRIKE: The transporters' stir entered the fifth day
(on Aug 25) and there seems to be no end in sight, but trucks carrying
vegetables from the neighbouring states of Karnataka and Maharashtra
continued to come in the state with police escort.The local truck operators
have now decided to intensify their agitation from Thursday by having a
total closure on movement of all transportation of goods. (NT)
SUBSIDISED FEES FOR POOR STUDENTS: The private engineering colleges in Goa

offspring. (H)

canonization of Bl Joseph Vaz, Son of Goa (Benaulim-Sancoale), who lived an
exemplary life holiness and worked many miracles during his lifetime. (GT)
RAMPONKARS FOR CONSERVING MARINE RESOURCES: Traditional fishermen have
maintained that there's been an overall decline in fish catch in recent
times. But, unlike the boat owners, who support the early lifting of the ban
to maximise fish catch, the traditional fishermen want a ban on trawling to
conserve the marine resources; Goenchea Ramponnkarancho Ekvott president,
Agnelo Rodrigues told Herald that the catch of the prized shrimp has been on
a gradual decline in the last few years, and blamed large scale mechanized
fishing for the disturbing situation. (H)
NUVEM'S ACUTE TRAFFIC CONGESTION: Acute traffic congestion in Nuvem village
is a problem that has been dogging the local populace for quite some time.
The situation is particularly chaotic at the main junction near the Nuvem
market especially during peak hours. The general lack of traffic discipline
coupled with a never-ending stream of traffic makes the area accident-prone.

school. This ebullient grandmother appears to be the senior-most student in
the computer class. Angela Vaz, another retired teacher, attends the music
class with her ten-year-old grand-daughter Kezannedra. They have a great
opportunity thanks to the efforts of some Divar citizens who have made this
possible through the Sons-of-the-Soil project in association with ACES,
Pilar Music School, Divar Music School and Our Lady of Divar High School at
its premises. (Paul Fernandes in GT)

dotting the Betalbatim-Majorda coast gave in this monsoons, either due to
strong winds or soil erosion. The Forest Department has auctioned the
uprooted tees. Officials say the auction proceeds made the Forest department
richer by Rs.17,000, but has no concrete plans on how to save the rich tree
cover - acting as a buffer zone between the beach and the land mass. (H)

shattered, as the boys, who completed their course in 2001, are still

FRIDAY BALCAO: The fortnightly discussion event to be held on August 27 will
focus on the compulsory use of helmets. The recent decision of the
Government of Goa to make the use of helmets compulsory for all riders of
two wheelers from August 16 has created a lot of heat and resulted in an
agitation of sorts. After a number of delegations and meeting with the
concerned authorities, demanding a relaxation of the rules for certain
categories of riders and on certain roads there seems to be a change in the
policy of the Govt. The Balcao discussion will cover pertinent questions and
also evolve an agenda for action by citizens. (Goa Desc
