**************************************************************** Documented by Goa Desc Documentation Service & circulated by Goa Civic & Consumer Action Network (GOA CAN)<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ***************************************************************** --------------------------- Worse Than AIDS --------------------------- Most Goans, particularly those who have small land holdings are caught in the grip of corruption, court cases, mutations and innumerable man made problems related thereto.
The present worst disease to hit the society is 'mutation'. It is noted that mutation disease is widely spread at the grassroots level and this disease is worst than AIDS because AIDS will kill you within certain period and you are sure to die but court cases and mutation will kill you only after prolonged period making you bankrupt to die in frustration. To cite an example of mutation, the writer of this letter travelled from Mapusa to Sanguem and was agitated to note that the talathi was not available. Second time too when he visited talathi's office he was not there. On enquiry it was found that he was holding additional charge and seldom came to office. The controlling officers are Mamlatdars who are unaware of the practice followed by the talathis.
