Margao

Chaos reigned supreme at the electricity department as hundreds of people had queued up to pay their electricity bills. The department has been witnessing huge crowds after cheque drop facility was dropped allowing only cash and online payments.

Confusion prevailed after the office was closed to public after a senior staff had tested positive for coronavirus. Nearly 30 staff was also tested while reports are awaited.

The residents expressed their displeasure over the confusion created by the department in withdrawing the cheque drop facilities and instead insisting on cash and online payments.

Even staff expressed their displeasure over the functioning of the department as there is little space of maintaining social distancing.

The people said that they have been waiting for nearly an hour to pay the bills but were informed that the department is closed for public in view of a staff testing positive. He said not all people are well versed with online payments. Instead if a drop box facility was there it would have eased the pressure on customers who could just drop the cheques and return home in view of the dangers of the pandemic.

It may be recalled that the chief engineer had recently issued a circular withdrawing the cheque drop facility limiting the payment to online and cash modes only.

The staff on the other hand who did not want to be named said there is a big rush from 10 am and there is no space for maintaining social distancing as the building is located near the road. The staff has to find their way through the crowds exposing them to the danger of the highly infectious virus.

These Tips Will Help You to Have the Most Successful Office Renovation

Category: 

An office renovation can really give your staff the help that they need to boost their productivity overall. You can also increase office morale while making your space feel brand-new. At the end of the day though, a renovation project is not going to be hassle-free. Take a look below to find out more.
Gather Information from the Start
You need to start by getting engineering documents and architectural documents for your space. Walk through your space with your design team and then verify what you have. At the end of the day, if there are any discrepancies in your plans then this can be expensive and it’s the last thing that you need. The more accurate of a picture you can make, the more you can understand the conditions you are facing. Time is money, and the more time you spend here, the more money you can save later.
Create a Design
When you look at your office renovation design, you need to think about the number of employees you have and your future growth in general. Think about technology and your desired level of functionality overall. It’s also very helpful to research design trends so that you can find out how your staff like to work in general. The planning phase is usually much longer than the construction phase because you will need to conduct a survey and make sure that everything is on-point.

New York’s Green Light Law Facilitates Behavior Found in 9/11 Attacks

Category: 

They say people learn from their mistakes, but it appears elected political officials in New York aren’t going to be doing so anytime soon.
The state of New York recently amended its controversial “Green Light Law” to make it a felony to share Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) information with federal immigration authorities. The Green Light Law was enacted in 2019 to grant illegal aliens driver’s licenses. New York, of course, was ground zero for the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, in which terrorists used state-issued identification documents to facilitate their attacks and law enforcement failed to effectively share information on these terrorists, so lawmakers must consider abolishing the law.

FBI Investigate Possible Link Between Recent Killings Of Law Enforcement In NorCal

Federal agents in the Bay Area are scrambling to figure out whether the seemingly random slaying of a sheriff’s deputy in an unincorporated part of Santa Cruz might be linked to the fatal shooting of a pair of federal agents in Oakland late last month, as well as a handful of other crimes, the LA Times reports.
On Saturday,  Santa Cruz sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller, 38, was shot and killed in Ben Lomond, an unincorporated area near Santa Cruz. While pursuing a suspect, Gutzwiller and other officers, several of whom were also wounded, were ambushed by gunfire and explosives.
At the scene, authorities arrested and booked Steven Carrillo, a Sergeant on active duty at the nearby Travis Air Force Base.
Carrillo, 32, was a member of the 60th Security Forces Squadron, according to a Travis Air Force Base spokesman. And it also appears he might be the killer of several law enforcement officers during what appears to have been a multi-day spree.
Carrillo was repeatedly shot while being taken into custody and is reportedly in serious condition. It’s unclear whether the explosives found in his car were intended to be used during a broader attack. The FBI says it is looking into Carrillo’s possible involvement in several other crimes last month, including an attack on two Federal Protective Service agents in Oakland last month that left one dead, and one critically injured.
