Goa's Planning & Development Authority (PDA), The Town & Country Planning (TCP) Department, and allied governmental agencies are systematically destroying the ecology, topography, and natural resources of India's smallest state. This is becoming possible thanks to a lethal combination of greedy politicians, and bureaucrats with a metropolitan mentality and a willingness to share the booty! ......................... Goa does not need an Adil Shah or the Portuguese to plunder this State. Our very own politicians and their cronies are doing a fine job of it. And if Goans do not wake up to this hellish scheme unleashed on this State, then all one can say is God save Goa!.................FN Dear friends, My compliments to FN for a well written, well researched and an anylitcal piece on degradation of Goa environment. Evidently, we cant blame the administration & civic authorities alone as we, the common people are equally at fault for remaining SILENT and not getting involved. It is a pity that inspite of intellectuals in n around Goa, we have nobody of our own in PDA (CTP). Our duty is not over after making the netters n sundry aware of the problem areas, the same need to be actioned - common people write letters enmasse to the authorities concerned via print media and if that strategy does not work then I guess we have no other choice but to have a person from our State inducted as CTP or take this issue to the streets, as some fellow Goans have already shown the way. The good Lord has given us this beautifl neck - can we at least stick it out for a good cause, inter-alia several other issues which will help our children inherit the earth in its pristine beauty? The Almighty only save those who gets involved! Chris Fernandes Disclaimer : This message may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.
