SECOND TAKE ON GABE MENEZES' OCT 18 RESPONSE TO DABOLIM DEBATE <Think of the baksheesh involved in this huge project which will also include highway roads avoiding NH 17> I too have noticed that our government leaders seem to have a fixation on transportation projects. In a comparison between CHOGM (1983) and IFFI based on an editorial in the HERALD last December I found that "one legacy of CHOGM was striking" viz the obsession with transportation projects. Then it was helipads, ferry jetties, motor launches, luxury buses -- and a boulevard. For IFFI it was initially with ropeways, skybuses, a floating theatre structure (all thankfully abandoned since then!) -- and the four lane boulevard. Motor launches and Volvo buses entered the picture later. Most recently there has been talk of screening films on beaches using gigantic plasma displays. If this clicks then soon we can expect to see beaches being converted into drive-in theatres (subject to CRZ regulations if any! ) and what would this involve? Paving them over for all the cars! Presto, an incipient transportation project.
