| Nobody is higher than party: Jose Phillip Posted: 12 Sep 2010 09:33 PM PDT
Speaking on the sidelines of the NCP state convention, Pacheco made the statement to mediapersons, replying to a question whether the NCP was supporting him through his troubled times. ”I don’t need a party nor symbol. What matters is that the people are with me and I am with the people,” Pacheco said. When asked about his reaction to the statement, the NCP state president replied: “Nobody is higher than the party. If anyone wishes to leave they can leave. However, asking a person to leave is something I cannot do, and that is up to the party high command.” A few days ago, the NCP spokesperson, Trajano D’Mello, had told a press conference that Pacheco is free to leave the party.

| 2 flights suffer bird hits at Goa Dabolim airport Posted: 12 Sep 2010 09:21 PM PDT Sunday turned out to be an eventful day at the Dabolim airport where two bird hits were reported in which one of the aircraft had to be grounded after its propellor was broken as a result of bird hit. There were, however, no casualties. According to the information provided by airport sources, the first bird hit took place at around 4.30 a.m. in which the aircraft of Air Arabia coming from Sharjah suffered negligible hit of an owl while landing at the airport. The aircraft flew back to Sharjah after a thorough inspection as nothing serious was noted by the engineering staff. In the second incident an aircraft belonging to Kingfisher airlines flying from Bangalore to Dabolim suffered serious damage after a big bird got sucked by its propellor after landing at the airport at 7.30 a.m. as a result of which propellor blade was badly damaged necessitating its grounding and replacement of the broken blade. The aircraft was taxing towards the apron when the incident took place. The aircraft flew back at 6.45 a.m. after spares were flown from Bangalore and replaced by the engineering staff. In the second incident too none of the passenger was injured. Meanwhile, the airport sources further said that a considerable number of birds was being noticed in and around airport especially in early morning and late evening, which could be dangerous to the aircraft. In view of large number of birds being seen, the authorities have issued permanent notice to pilots landing at the Dabolim airport to exercise caution in this regard. The sources further said that in view of the bird hits concrete steps would have to be taken immediately to reduce proliferation of birds around the airport. Courtesy: Navhind Times |
