Cidade de Goa owners, i.e. the culprits who put up the commercial illegality, are now made to look innocent, by the Goa Government. Can I construct an Illegal commercial structure, employ people and then expect tolegalise it on pretext of employee’s losing Jobs? Also, is the number of affected employees indicated, really true? Is the Government really concerned about the Goan employees or is it actually concerned about the Hotel Owners i.e. Timblo, for obvious reasons? If the Government does amend the 114 year law to benefit Timblo, it will open doors to legalise all other commercial illegalities in Goa, on Government Land or shall I say Peoples land!! It is high time, we internationalise Goa’s Disgustingly Corrupt Government; bent on destroying Goa for personal gains.
Timblo & the Goa Government knowingly allowed the illegality and made fortunes on it; they should demolish it, as per the Supreme Court order and take full responsibility, to accommodate the “Goan” employee’s affected; at same packages & convenient locations. In addition, Timblo should part with some of the enormous “illegal “ profits from the illegality and give it to the affected “Goan” employees; if of course the Timblo & the Goa Government, genuinely cares for the employees!! * * On a related note, all illegal residential houses on the coast, owned by Goans should be reviewed fairly for legalizing, as many were approved with Panchayat/Municipal permissions. Worst case, if some without permissions have to be demolished, then the Government should provide alternate land to Goans who can’t afford housing; on a long term lease (i.e. to prevent re-sale); which might be difficult as most of the land is being sold to non-goans & mega-projects; with the full support of Goa’s disgustingly corrupt MLA’S!! * * *Arwin Mesquita (Abu Dhabi, UAE)* -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/
