Is this what is termed spreading the manure around? Where are all the Ponjekars of cyber Goa? They do not seem to raise their voice at their elected representative pushing this "need / largess". Or perhaps they may like the manure, now that it is their backyard.
On the other hand, any school, temple or church or charitable organization could get their hand on the 2.25 crores. They should volunteer to maintain the gardens. Under a grand plan various sections of the gardens could be handed over (along with the money) to different organizations. There could also be a friendly competition for creativity, artistic display, etc. etc. Kind Regards, GL Lawrence Rodrigues: << It may be recalled that during the tenure of the BJP Government, work on the Municipal garden kept pending despite the Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation handing over the entire amount of Rs one crore as advance to Simplex for execution of the works. >> Now... << Deputy Chief Minister and Tourism Minister Dr Wilfred de Souza for sanctioning 1.25 crore towards development of the Municipal garden in the city. Dr de Souza allocated the funds through the Tourism Department to the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) following a request from Furtado >> Where exactly is this garden? How big is it? Rs.2.25 crores (1 + 1.25) for some murrum, dung, and seeds ? Will the pathways be paved with gold ? Lawrence --
