<What's more the local bodies and ZP members appear totally ignorant of the significance of the district Planning Committee in the absence of any single agency to co-ordinate with these bodies.
Incidentally, the lone meeting of the district Planning Committee took place on July 20 last year, but neither the MLAs nor the MPs were present. And, those who attended the meeting appeared a confused lot over the nature of projects they have to propose to the committee.> It is clear that there is neither any interest nor any ability on the part of the concerned folks to do any meaningful development planning! It should not come as a surprise then that we will have no choice but to lurch from one crisis to another in Goa!
