I have been following this thread off and on !
There is no doubt that all of us love and cherish Goa, but I think we are
developing an ostrich attitude.
I can speak for Margao, because that's the place I visit most often. Some
years back it was quite clean and I am told that it was thanks to Mr.
Parrikar, but last May I saw practically every traffic island in a mess, old
tyres and other garbage on them. The hawkers
are back at the SBI and the mess is slowly creeping in. Yes we need to clean
Goa, even the garbage in villages is increasing, the tiny rivulet at the
back of my house where we spent hours playing, is dirty with every kind of
filth in it. There is no garbage collection in villages and vacant plots are
dumping grounds.
Traffic is really terrible, we have racing bikes on all roads and accidents
are very frequent.
And although we do conserve a lot of old buildings, ugly buildings with no
aesthetics are everywhere even in Verna my village.
A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone
Regards,
Sonia
