Dear Local Editors in Goa,
I have my grievance, that most of our local newspapers in their Letters to the Editor column are been published letters by either Adelmo Fernandes, Michael Vaz, S.N. Poojary or Panchu Menon and definitely one can see in our local papers Gomantak Times, Herald , Navhind Times and even The Goan, one of these writers names are always there forever. I have my question to ask the Editors in Goa why only these names all the times seen figuring in their columns; as if there are no other Goan writers who can write better than them? Is Goa writers gone on hibernation like frogs? Please see this suggestion; as Goa needs more and better writers so that whole image of Goa which is under attack by so called outsiders builders are finishing Goa and grabbing land of Goa and constructing illegal buildings for them to stay forever in Goa and Goans will one day will have to stay on huts. Look at the roads in Goa they are gone , Look at the sewage in Goa it is gone to the St Ines and Ourem Creek and Mandovi River as well as in the wells; Look at the old buildings in Goa or Panjim they are still being utilized and pose danger to the public; Look at the water and electricity in Goa, the fares have gone up and Goans have no money to pay their bills; Look at the victims of rapes , murders and thefts all these things could be well written or exposed by the new writers of Goa and not keeping these old writers forever in their columns who perhaps are hand in gloves with the Government and the Editor are using them as they cooperate with them so that no important facts are been exposed to the public. Will the Editors of our local dailies open their eyes and see that this suggestion is implemented? But mind you editing must be minimum.
