Hello Mr Cyril, Mr Bonnie
First of all, let me thank both of you for your comments and support and
much appreciated for the same. my replies are below
BUT people have only the name FOXES,?but they are not cunning like
FOXES, the most wanted THING for the village is the PLAYGROUND which
people do seems to be having no thinking of the importance of the play
ground.* most of the young boys & girls are into bad habits like
drinking / smoking / drugs / etc...
Mr bonnie, these are hard hitting accusations indeed. Being from the
village, working in it and having seen first hand what goes on, i can
assure you that saligao is not at all that which u presume to be. the
youth here are much more than what u think and are very enterprising.
the current RP which we are doing has gone into great dept and we ahve
earmarked many things for the village like garbage management site,
playground etc.
*The ground was proposed at Saligao in front of the school but.....PEOPLE
People of Saligao go to protest in calangute OK....
i do not understand your above statement? yes people did protest when
the playground was proposed in front of loures convent for many reasons.
however this entire area has now been earmarked for a massive water
harvesting project which will be used to revitalise the village in the
RP. (saligao of old has pictures of the area becomng a huge pond which
used to recharge the village wells, somehting which stopped happeneidng
about 30 or more years ago
the playground exact spot will be decided at the gram sabha to finalise
the plan for the vilage. 2 spots being proposed include the a massive
field area outside the village on the right hand side of the rd to parra
and another field area just on the opposite side of the rd where the
water harvesting is going to take place. the panchayat wnats it here in
the middle f the village but many villages want it outsite to decongest
and take ut trafic from the village. not getting into deatils here.
peace of the village . People who will really suffer if this road comes
into existence are those from lowlying wards of Salmona, Donvaddo and
the article on the paper failed to mention that the proposed rd goes
right through the source of the world famous salmona spring!!!!
those like me who are settled outside the village will support him on
this issue. I dont know whether you are from Candolim , Calangute , Baga
or Saligao but I request you to support the Saligao villagers by
protesting against this road and come to the GramSabha meeting.
yes we have already got so many people who have never come to a gram
sabha before to come for ward level meetings itself to help out in
planning the village. we are expective almost the entire vilage to come
for the gram sabha.
*About your accusation that Saligao people are dumb and the youngsters
are into drinks , drugs , smoking , etc* I request you to take back your
statement as I too have my young relatives living in Saligao and they
have a very good upbringing and do not do any of the above vices .
Please do not generalis
agree with him... this can be gauged from a lil boasting abt me. i'm a
youth from the village and i happen to be the convenor.. all because of
he upbringing i had. if at all you see poeople who u claim are
questionable. they will most likely be migrants of which we are making
efforts to try and control using this RP
e.
Mr. Bonnie please wake up from your slumber , move out of your luxurious
cell and pull up your socks , roll up your sleeves and get ready - there
is a lots of work to do - theres a long road ahead we all must trod...
great words col!. we in slaigao have began to do that. we have used the
excuse of the regional plan to document almost 80% iregularities in the
village including filling of fields etc. and we have managed to get
almost the full of saligao united in their fight towards corruption. we
ahve done our level best to ensure that NO political clout was allowed
to interfere in our work.
thanks and best reards
Ashley Delaney
