My family lived in Taleigao, therefore there was an extension to do the job, and the pigs cleared it faithfully. Today the Mapusa market looks like your countenance with all the bharat development Xri Sá. BC
There was no sewage system to speak of. Those houses which had the space had Goa's great recycling machine, the piggy to take care of their excreta. Others plooped into a bucket or a kerosene tin which was then carried way by the scavenger on his/ her head. Perhaps BC who tom toms the great benefits the Portuguese brought to Goa was privileged to squat over a gold bucket. All the well developed places that we see in Panjim today, Miramar, Gaspar Dias, Dona Paula, Altinho, etc were hardly developed. Yes Panjim has seen 'deolopment', great deolopment today, but with it has come the filth, the squalour. the overcrowding, the slums, the casinos, the tourist boats, etc. -- Regards, Tony de Sa ************************
