Panaji, April 1 : Till April 6, 1986, O Coqueiro, a highway restaurant in Porvorim, Panaji s then up and coming suburb, was known for two things.
One was its signature chicken cafreal, a roasted and gravy soaked poultry-based dish and the restaurant s other prized possession; a phone which one could use to call long distance and international, a rare commodity in the days when most homes could not even boast of a humble landline.
It all changed on April 6 in 1986, when a team of Mumbai Police officials led by police inspector Madhukar Zende confronted a slim man with a scraggy beard and a black cap who alighted from a Premier Padmini car and walked into O Coqueiro , taking a seat at his favourite table.

Panaji, Feb 4 : The spirit of Carnival appears to have trumped the fear of the Covid-19 pandemic in Goa, with civic authorities in Panaji finally permitting the colourful festival which is due to begin on February 13.
According to the mayor of the Corporation of the City of Panaji Uday Madkaikar, private and corporate funding for the popular event is expected to dip this year, but the event would nonetheless be held as scheduled.
Political fissures appear to have developed in the Goa cabinet over the construction of a much-delayed IIT-Goa campus in North Goa s Valpoi assembly constituency, even as tremors of an old rivalry between Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Health .
