Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

my guess is they've** heard that 12-month T visas are available in the UK, but weren't told about the 180 day limit on them - or they may have heard about 12-month X's being available (but I would have thought all Indian Missions would have the same info. about those).

** 'they' being the German / Swiss contingent.

P.S. I have emailled the BHCI suggesting they endorse this petition - a few more emails on the same lines probably wouldn't hurt <g>!

Human excreta soiling Karmale lake: Health officer
8 Dec: Times of India. Ponda health officer Nutan Dev confirmed that "excess human excreta" was contaminating the Karmale lake in the town… However, Dev said that the test report claims it is a "normal condition, as people from most villages in Goa answer nature's call on the bank of lakes"…

and we all know who leaves 99% of the litter!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

At the shack I go to the boys come out with a rake and rake the rubbish out of the sand in the early evening. What they do with it then I have no idea though.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

We get Indian guests in our resort, most of them are well mannered and do not make a mess but sometimes we get a big family party and for some reason they think it is acceptable behavior in the restaurant and by the pools just to throw their rubbish on the floor/ground and leave a terrible mess. They also tend to be the ones that go in the pools fully dressed after a day out! Mind you we also had some Russians whose manners in the restaurant were dreadful.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I would love to know who these so called contractors are who are apparently being paid over 16 lakh per month to clear garbage from the beaches - if I was Swampy Naik I would be asking for that money back as they are clearly not doing the job they are paid for !!!
Never seen any evidence of garbage clearance and that pile of litter to the right of Calangute steps grows and grows. :thumbdown:
It would help if they put some litter bins along the beach - but then again even if they did, would they actually get emptied?!!!.

Dread - x

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

And if they did empty the hypothetical bins would the rubbish be properly dealt with or just illegally dumped somewhere else.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

The million lakh question !!!!!

Dread - x

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Totally agree with you our Indian Residents are well mannered and treat the place with respect, but some of the behaviour of the indians in the shacks is disgusting, they smoke, don't use the ashtrays, throw the tins of the floor, feet on the table. They seem to be the rich Delhi/Mumbai kids, bet they don't do it at home. The Russians seem to think it is acceptable to take their Vodka with them to restaurants.
