Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant has demanded a separate Goa circle for postal services. Because hardly any Goan gets employed in postal service. But Goa Hit Rakhan Manch counters this claim. According to them, Goans can get jobs in postal service even in the existing Maharashtra circle. But knowledge of Konkani should be made essential for vacancies in Goa region.



 9th October was the World Post Day when Goa’s postal department had organised a function in Panaji. CM spoke at this function in Marathi. Because almost 90 per cent audience working in Goa’s post offices was from Maharashtra. The employees who were felicitated were also from Maharashtra. But CM spoke on behalf of Goans and demanded separate circle for Goa.

Goa Hit Rakhan Manch has welcomed CM’s demand. But its leader Dr Purnanand Chari recalls the protest of 2004, which he had led against the examination for postal jobs held in Panaji. Most of the candidates had come from neighbouring Maharashtra. Because the advertisement said knowledge of Konkani OR Marathi is essential. The examination was cancelled and the vacancies were re-advertised with knowledge of only Konkani essential for Goa region. But it happened only once.


What we showed you were only the reactions of our own CM as well as Goa Hit Rakhan Manch who fought for Goan unemployed youth. We will bring to you more shocking facts about what is happening in the Goa region of Maharashtra circle of postal department. Watch this space.
