RE: GOAN VOICES' ON "IFFI MAKES CM HERO No.1 " OF OCT 28

The people of Panjim seem to be masochists to tolerate the wholesale
upheaval being wrought by last minute IFFI and Exposition preparations all
the way from Old Goa/Ribandar to Miramar and Dona Paula. It really didnt
have to be done this crude and heavy handed way. Also according to all
accounts top level governmental attention has been unnecessarily and
unashamedly been diverted from other pressing needs of the State.

Sure, a lot of people optimistically believe that things will be lovely in
Panjim when all the work is over. But what guarantee is there that the
powers that be wont  come up with some new harebrained ideas to keep things
from ever settling down? And who knows what the quality of the rush
infrastructure jobs will really be like in the next monsoon or two. There
may be enough re-work to keep things topsy-turvy in perpetuity. Heaven help
us Panjimites is all I can say.
