Is this what they call"painting the town red"? One would think that the destruction of the old forest belt now fully 'converted' into a mining belt was bad enough; the "red" town of Curchorem-Sanvordem was next;they blighted Vasco black. Will it be Carambolim/Karmali railway station,Carambolim Lake and bird reserve and the World Heritage site of Old Goa next?
Watch out! It may be your backyard next. Viva Goa.
