Founding fathers gathering dust!
PANJIM, Jan 13: The portraits of Goa's first Chief Minister Dayanand 'Bhau' Bandodkar and Father of the Opinion Poll Dr Jack de Sequeira are presently gathering dust at the Adil Shah palace in Panjim, the heritage building which once housed the state secretariat and the legislative Assembly. Spiders have spun webs around these portraits as they lie in the dust of the Adil Shah Palace, which is presently undergoing restoration. [Janim Xavier, Herald]
