As a US expatriate and recently enrolled reader of the Goanet news, your
publication reports tremendous development projects planned and executed in
Goa.
I am interested to know what safeguards are currently in place to preserve
the natural beauty, historic monuments, cultural milieu, etc. and to promote
balanced regulated growth and prevent environmental pollution and sociological
disruptions. Does the Goa Government have bodies like the USA's Environmental
Protection Agency with mandated rules and regulations and related
administrators with statutory enforcement powers?. Are public hearings held
on social and environment impact of development and new business( such as SEZ)
projects? I've not yet observed reports of such activities. Please let me
know whether there are other internet sources devoted to this area. .
I enjoy reading Goanet's coverage daily. It opens an engrossing and
enlightening window to keep abreast of Goa's and the rest of India's important
current events.
Sincerely
Arnold
