Today's HERALD has a full page feature on "Demonic plan to devastate Goa and
Goans". It re-cycles and expands the Gurudas Kamat write-up of Dec 16th and
embellishes it with maps, photos and cartoons. The vital bit of additional
information, however, is that it estimates Goa's population to reach about
75 lakhs by 2021, five times the 2001 level. This is based on the additional
180 sq km of settlement land being fully used for 1.8 million dwellings of 3
persons each. What about giving an allowance for dwellings which are kept
locked for various common reasons?
