KCD on BB for Karaga Festival ..Dated 15 April 2014

Legend associated with Karaga festival

Legend has it that in the last part of Mahabharat, a glimpse of hell was revealed to the Pandavas. At that time one demon called Tripurasura was still alive. Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, decided to kill the demon. She took the form of Shakti devi and gathered a large army of soldiers called the Veerakumaras. After a huge fight the demon was defeated. The soldiers asked Draupadi to stay back with them. Draupadi could not keep their request, but she promised them that she would visit them every year during the first full moon of the first month of the Hindu calendar.

The Tigalas believe that they are the descendants of the Veerakumaras and they welcome Draupadi on this date every year by observing the festival.

Apr 10, 2014, PANAJI: In a bid to reduce fire emergencies in the state, the department of fire and emergency services since January commenced a programme on "disaster preparedness and fire safety training campaign" at the village panchayat level.

It has also been conducting "training of trainers" in basic fire safety and evacuation drill for school teachers in the state but it is yet to cover government hospital staff. The trained teachers are expected to train others in their respective schools in basic fire safety measures.

Ashok Menon, director of fire and emergency services, said in the initial phase three talukas namely Pernem, Sanguem and Sattari were taken up. "The response from the village panchayats has not been very encouraging. The respective fire officers in charge of the training program are making efforts to reach out to citizens nonetheless," he said...
