WHO IS GUILTY? It is reported in the wee hours of Sunday, at Demani, Cuncolim a van hit two cows killing them on the spot. The cows were not deemed guilty(they have an owner?), but the driver who escaped unhurt, was reportedly arrested for rash and negligent driving. Why were the cows on the road in the first place? Who will hold the municipality/panchyat/the police or the government guilty/negligent? The same thing applies to flooding and pot holed and washed out roads. A joke says "In India we drive on the left. In Goa we drive on what is left!". For too long the government has been going scot free from suffering the consequences of their wrong acts of commission or omission! If government leaves everything to "the wisdom of the courts", what does that prove? That the executive lacks in taking responsibility or in wisdom? Who will give us quick justice? Even our fish is being poisoned, our fruits and vegetables also with chemicals. Human life, especially that of the common man, is becoming very cheap in our country these days and transparency and accountability a distant dream?
