To Goanet - We are witnessing the death of a noble animal - the village of Taleigao which is now in its final throes.
Look at this construction in progress. Prima facie it is a violation, with its complete disregard for the village panchayat laws (ground + 8 storeys in a village?). Other building complexes are mushrooming all around, threatening to soon add hundreds of new apartments, with no planning, no attention to what the newcomers (mostly non-Goans) will do to the demographic profile and social fabric, to the limited water and other resources, to traffic patterns. This is a third-rate, lawless nation. http://www.parrikar.org/images/samples/taleigao-1.jpg Count the number of storeys - http://www.parrikar.org/images/samples/taleigao-2.jpg Kamat Constructions, the producers of this horror film, contributing their mite to Goa's cause.
