Please Spare us your whining

Please save me your angst, I am not calling for suicides of those affected
by no mining and the dip in tourism, just stating the difference between
crocodile tears and reality. In plain English, tourism does not help all
Goans as the media’s stories tell you and Michael Lobo’s almost daily rant
makes it out to be. What I am saying is both the tourism and mining
industries in Goa got greedy and dived headlong into the mess both created.
Greed for money has taken over.

Dunce Cap Government

Lion Roars

The BJP government does not mind being rebuked by the NGT but will not fall
in line. Because fines are paid  by your tax money. Another Rs 68 lakhs are
due when the case on illegal structures on beaches comes up for  hearing on
January 21, 2020. EX-CM Manohar Parrikar vetoed setting up a bench in Goa
saying it would be a financial constraint and would not have enough work.
But since it was set up, the NGT’s Pune bench has passed more than a 100
judgements in Goa-related matters.
