Your weekly Konkani-language news bulletin bringing you the latest developments from Goa and the global Goan community. 🔴 GOA POLITICS — OPPOSITION ALLIANCES Ahead of the 2027 Goa Assembly elections, Goa’s political landscape is witnessing new developments. The Aam Aadmi Party and Goa Forward Party have joined hands under the banner of Goa First, while the Congress and Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP) have reached an understanding to contest the elections together. With different opposition combinations now taking shape, what does this mean for the call for a united opposition to challenge the BJP? Could these alliances consolidate opposition votes, or could multiple political fronts lead to a division of votes? We speak exclusively to senior advocate Cleofato Almeida Coutinho, who shares his views on Goa’s emerging political equations. 🔴 EXCLUSIVE — INSIDE COLVALE CENTRAL JAIL Our special report takes you inside Colvale Central Jail, bringing you an exclusive look at developments from within the prison. 🔴 KARAPUR-SARVAN | ABHINANDAN LODHA PROJECT We also examine the latest developments surrounding the One Global Goa Abhinandan Lodha mega housing project at Karapur-Sarvan, following a stop-work notice issued by the village panchayat. The development comes after a 161-day protest by villagers opposing the project. But questions remain: what is the experience of the villagers who have opposed the project? Are there concerns about pressure being placed on those raising objections? Six villagers have reportedly been called to Mumbai by the Mumbai Police as witnesses in an extortion case. We look at the developments and the questions being raised. 🔴 MISS GOA INTERNATIONAL 2026 — UNITED KINGDOM And from the UK, we bring you the latest from Miss Goa International 2026, featuring 12 finalists from Goa, the United Kingdom and Canada.
