Once again the Panaji shigmo ended late, very late. If police did not interfere then the whole thing would have ended around 2.30am.
Looks like it started very late as usual.
We decided to give a miss this time because it ends very late every year.
However, at 8 pm we decided to go and watch at least half of the floats.
We arrived at Kala Academy at 8.30pm and surprised to see Float parade not even started yet.
Romtamel were still going on and last group of Romtamel left the starting point (Caculo Island) at 23.15. Last float (Chitrarath) to leave the originating point at 00:45 or 12.45am which means it would arrive at the terminating point i.e. Azad Maidan around 2am and the programme on stage including prize distribution, senior artistes felicitation, Speeches etc whole thing would have ended around 2.30am. Last year it ended at 1.15am though
Looks like top committee members already abandoned the show and disappeared. Not even local MLA and Dempo Baba were seen at Azad Maidan. At 1.21 am it was announced that stage programme is cancelled and that result will be declared 2 days later on local dailies.
Surprisingly, no local dailies (English) brought this up in their editions, they did publish floats pics though.
Watch Video No. 6 (below) for all 30 floats Pics
