Car ablaze all commuters safe

A Maruti van of Goa registration coming from Mapusa, Goa suddenly caught fire near Union Gymkhana today it was LPG driven.

All the commuters were safe as they had come out when they smelled the leaking of the gas. The fire fighters came in time and extinguished the fire. The car was turned in to ashes within minutes. No one was injured in the incident.
But this again raises questions on how safe it is to use LPG in cars?

Be ready to Shell more for car parking

The Bapat Galli Car parking yesterday was auctioned on contract for a whopping Rs.5 lakhs and 11 thousand. That's almost 3 times from what the Corporation got last year. Last year for the same auction the CCB had got 1,80,000.

The corporation gives the car parking on contract basis for a year. As the car parking is very centrally located it is always full.

And as the contractor has paid 5 lakhs this time the charge for parking is bound to rise.
