Albert writes:- Panjim was a planned city. It was planned in such a way that during the monsoons when the rivers used to flood the water that would enter the city would flow through the drains into a small lake in Mala. The present Kadamba bus stand was in fact salt pan and it was connected to the river the other side. After liberation during the MG rule builders started filling these salt pans. They started building huge buildings and the drains were filled up. I do not seem to have seen a lake in Mala now.Parrikar did not build the kadamba bus stand but Rane did. So one cannot blame Parrikar for the mess. Regarding pissing and spitting in public places there is an act to prevent this. It is the duty of the Police who themselves eat pan and spit in public places should see that the mess is not done. During Parrikar's regime toilets were erected along the river front which dissappeared once he was thrown out. _________________________________________________________________ >From salsa lessons to filmy gossip, news to music concerts - watch it all on >MSN Video http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-in
