Reginaldo demands vigilance enquiry into Goa Co-Op Bank

Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco on Saturday demanded a Vigilance enquiry into the functioning of the Goa State Co-operative Bank Ltd which is the lead bank for co-operative sector in Goa and demanded that. Manohar Parrikar who had raised the issue when in Opposition should end the matter now that he is the chief minister. Claiming that the one- time settlement scheme was a big scam, Reginaldo highlighted three other scams and demanded a thorough enquiry into the matter and regretted that even though Manohar had raised the matter when in the opposition, he pre- ferred to turn a Nelson's eye after becoming the chief minister. Reginaldo said the white label ATM installation was. one scam as the amounts paid to the party that in-stalled the machines is way specified the beyond amounts by the Reserve Bank of India. Besides, he said, the per- son running the ATMs are not maintaining them and the maintenance has to be done by the bank which is against the policy. He said that the discrep- ancies in the official statements of the bank and the replies to questions asked in the Assembly clearly indicate that there is something very wrong with the deal. He said the tie-up with Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company is another scam as the company is not paying the bank commission it ought to pay every time the bank asks its loan appllcant to have an insurance policy with that company. "The company is not paying the bank commission and yet the bank is asking customers to insure with Kotak Mahindra; this is very suspicious and scandalous, Reginaldo said. The third scam according to him was the software prepared for the bank.

HICCUP

Hiccups are medically known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter or singultus (SDF). They can occur individually or in bouts. They are often rhythmic, meaning that the interval between each hiccup is relatively constant.

Most people have hiccups from time to time, and they usually resolve without treatment within a few minutes.

Rarely, there may be prolonged or chronic hiccups, which can last a month or more. Hiccups that last over 2 months are known as intractable hiccups.

If a bout lasts longer than 48 hours, this is considered persistent, and the person should see a doctor. It could be a sign of a more serious medical condition. This tends to be more common in men than in women.

The longest recorded case of hiccups lasted 60 years.

Fast facts on hiccups

Most cases resolve without treatment, but prolonged hiccups can lead to complications such as insomnia and depression.
If hiccups last for longer than 48 hours, the person should see a doctor, who may prescribe muscle relaxants.
Avoiding alcohol and not eating too quickly can help reduce the chance of hiccups.

The National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD) describes hiccups as "an involuntary spasmodic contraction of the muscle at the base of the lungs (diaphragm) followed by the rapid closure of the vocal cords."

A wide range of underlying conditions can trigger chronic or persistent hiccups.
