PRESS RELEASE:
From Candolim Senior Citizens Association, Candolim.
On Sunday, 3rdof this month, Candolim Senior Citizens Association in its monthly meeting held in Candolim, besides deliberating on some of the important issues affecting the locals, passed a resolution requesting the Goa Government to cancel the mandatory requirement of the 15 years Residence Certificate for genuine Goans for any official work or for any Welfare oriented scheme even for the students while applying for the admission into the schools.
Inspite of having all the required details in all the identity Cards such Pencard, Election Card and other Cards, besides having the required details in the Birth Certificate, government is unnecessarily making the things more complicated for the common citizens, especially for the Senior citizens thereby also increasing the paperwork and wasting of precious time.
It should be well understood that on behalf of our association, earlier we already requested the Social Welfare Department, Government of Goa, with copies to the Chief Minister of Goa as well as Social Welfare Minister. However, to our regret there is till now no favourable response from the supposed to be responsible persons. It is easy to talk of Goa – Goenkar – Goykarponn. There cannot exist Goykarponn when those persons who should implement the Goykarpon are not doing their jobs of Goykarpon.

President.
