The display board of the Wing 3 building at the Goa Medical College Complex is seen in a totally neglected state. There are various important departments and wards in this wing but due to the negligence of the management, the patients and the general public are facing problems in locating the right place

This is part of the national malaise. Utter lack of civic sense among a section of the citizens, 'chalta hai' attitude of the babudom, and in some cases, lack of political will on the part of the government has caused this common scenario all over the country.
Precious legislative time is spent on politicking, show of strength, one-upmanship etc., government funds get siphoned off and opportunities lost in the middle of games of vendetta and 'holier-than-thou' stands.
As we said in an earlier edition, Goans can take heart, since the people of the rest of the country seem to be qualified to console them saying, "Don't worry, be happy, it's the same story here too..."
