In a report titled "Congress invites Mummy to Delhi for talks", there is
some information about Victoria Fernandes, MLA's, plans for her constituency
of anta Cruz. Consisting of some 20 items, it reportedly includes things
like laying of underground electric cables, hot mixing of roads, a sewerage
treatment plant, two football grounds, a community hall, an indoor stadium,
two health centers, two markets, three overbridges etc etc.
The first question that arises is: how does all this gel with the new
Regional Plan which is supposedly in the works (after the original one was
scuppered by the redoubtable Mummy's own whistle blowing). This is because
presumably some land would have to be identified for the various purposes.
Then there is the question of need. What purpose would the markets serve?
Would the community hall be for one community or all of them? What if all
40 constituencies asked for football grounds and stadia? Is there a body
which would take a wholistic view of these requirements?
Then there are the missing items (though these may well be in the complete
list). What about pay toilets, garbage disposal sites etc.
"The Santa Cruz MLA has demanded non-interference .. in the development
works of the constituency" citing the previous experience with the
obstructive Town & Country Minister. Is this any way to run a progressive
government, for Goa's sake?
