Hon CM of Goa , listen to us as we are on the ground doing the complicated & hard work your government is suppose to do .

Don't let the sun set down on poor goan ladies with mental disabilities on the streets 

But why are the Police not picking up people from the streets and admitting them into the mental hospital ?

Your answer is at the end of this post.

Mid September 2024, this poor goan homeless abandoned lady was picked up by us with the help of Mapusa police as well present was Mrs Aishwarya Salgaonkar and our NGO admitted her into IPHB ( not the police ) as she was violent and had been living on the streets of HANUMAN NATYAGRAHA Mapusa just opposite to Hotel Satyaheera with severe mental disabilities.

Sangeeta is the name we kept her as she did not even remember her name while admitting her into IPHB on that day .

From mid April 24 till mid Sept 24 , same corner right on the footpath, the entire summer & the entire rainy season, Sangeeta lived on that street.

Imagine a lady living in a major city of goa where thousands of people if not a lakh of people daily cross this HANUMAN NATYAGRAHA corner.

Mapusa police station is just 200 meters away from this corner and each and every police at mapusa police station has to cross this corner.

Well today Sangeeta was discharged from IPHB & we admitted her into our home.

So why could the police not do this earlier ?

Well , for the police to admitt a homeless into the IPHB is a :

Sounds strange. Let me break it up.

☆ 1. Nightmare – most of these homeless are unclean, aggressive, abusive & harmful in nature.

》pick the homeless,

》Take to the local PHC,

》Conduct a medical report,

》Then locate the city Magistrate,

》If its night time go to the home of the city Magistrate who always is a resident of another city along with the homeless.

If its day time local Magistrate is in court so wait.

》Once Magistrate sees the homeless then will issue an order.

》Take the order and go to IPHB.

》Stand in line with the homeless.

》Who might be smelly & no toilet habits.

》IPHB will do some checking & refer to GMC.

》GMC another Line and wait for reports.

Bring patient & reports back to IPHB. 

》Then they will admitt.

In the above process, minimum 12 hours is needed with :

》One PSI

》3 to 4 constables 

》1 driver 

》Petrol & police car.

This same process if through STREET PROVIDENCE is only 2 hours & 2 constables.

Government should understand this huge saving of time & resources. 

Well once this same homeless person is ready for discharge, the police don't run shelter homes so either they just ignore the calls from IPHB to sign for the discharge of any patient admitted thru the Magistrate Order OR

The patient may tell IPHB they want to be discharged OR

The police sign the discharge and the patient walks away back to the streets as there is no family to take them home.

After few days same story on the streets and police again feel it's useless to repeat the same exercise as after a few weeks again the cycle goes round and round.

Well that's the reason SANGEETA was not picked up by the police and admitted into IPHB but we picked up Sangeeta , supported by The police and our NGO admitted her into IPHB.

Today our NGO signed Sangeeta discharge papers and police gave an NOC to admitt into our shelter homes. 

Today Sangeeta ate food on a table, read / flipped through some books , slept at night On a warm bed , watched Television.

Who knows how and what is going on in her mind.

Still says in the last 24 hours ” I don't want to stay in a home I want to live on the streets, picking up waste bottles & smoking her biddies”.

Now you all got the answer why when u go to the police station to address the issue of homeless with mental disabilities is not taken seriously? 

So who is to blame for this mess ?

Obviously The Hon CM of the state as Police & finance are always under The CM of the state.

If the Finance department does not give the funds to the women & Child Department for grants to be given to NGOs running shelter Homes for women on the streets with mental disabilities then it's The Hon CM Fault.

And no NGO is crazy to look after homeless people with disabilities without Government grants and supoort.

I hope you got the answer to the question at the start of this post.

The Sorkar / Government under The Hon CM of Goa please take note.

By coming Wednesday ie 27th Nov 2024 we will hitting the streets again and may be forced to take our residents to meet The Hon CM of Goa as with Rs 33 per day for food and Rs 6.67 paisa per day for medicines it's just not possible any more to carry on.

Maharashtra elections are over ,

Exposition started 

IFFI innaugrated.

So now The Hon CM of Goa should give us an appointment & fulfill his commitment when he addressed our lady residents as HIS MOTHERS & SISTERS on 2nd Oct 2024 when we visited him In his Bungalow & assured to release the other 60% of our grants.
