3 companies, their investments Vs the mood of Goa
It’s basically a story of three companies, their long term business interests in Goa versus a policy which the government of Goa had scrapped, the SEZ policy, bowing to immense public pressure.

Special Status fiasco deliberate, not ambiguous
For the first time in two and half years, it seems that our state is moving into the category of a Non Performing Asset, a label that is given to a borrower who defaults on payments with consistent regularity till the bank believes that the loan disbursed was in danger of becoming a bad debt. But while the bank does get a bit of a dent, it accounts for these bad debts and survives.
