Wendell Rodricks and Margaret Mascarenhas and others: Read your pleas with sympathy. Well written article with some good suggestions. Constructive, with the outlining of feasible and available solutions. This may be the lightening rod that awakens native Goans.
Another suggestion for native Goans to highlght their plight. EVERY Sunday at 2:00 PM a peaceful morcha to the city hall and secretariat led by Wendell Rodricks and/or Margaret Mascarenhas together with other prominent and not so prominent Goans. In tourists villages and beaches like Calangute the EVERY SUNDAY morcha should be to the beachfront hotels. Show your ire through action!!! Kind Regards, GL Melinda Coutinho Powell: Davorlim,South Goa I live in South Goa,and right in the vicinity of my children's school is the Sonsoddo garbage dump.The clueless Margao Muncipal Council plan to take up the project after the contract with the Goa Foundation , for treating waste, gets over in November.Untreated this dump is really like a time bomb waiting to explode. I shudder to think of the fate of the school students and residents in the surrounding areas. I don't know what it would take to put pressure on our thick skinnned Government but they need to be attacked from all quarters.The problem is very serious.
