Go to - http://www.crecgoa.com/meadows/index.html Soon Sharma-ji, Mrs Taneja, Mr Sabharwal and their brood will be strutting around in Paithona. Now if only those Goan pests who have been living there for ages would get lost. I talked to some of the villagers. Apparently the Panchayat honchos sold out for 5 lakhs rupees and that orders also came "from above." This project has "illegal" written all over it. In the woods right opposite the Chowgule atrocity you see this ominous sign - http://www.parrikar.org/images/samples/paithona-horror-03.jpg I have said this before: saving Goa is an unequal fight, between part-time do-gooders and full-time criminals. By the time the claque of poseurs comprising the Task Force for RP 2021 finishes its charade there won't be much left to save. I don't know why I even bother posting these pictures anymore. Warm regards, r ps: Aldeia de Goa has advertisements on the front page of Navhind Times today. pps: Villas for "NRIs Only" soon coming up at Dona Paula. ppps: Dear Goans, get ready for that jump en masse into the Arabian Sea.
