Our Government Does Not Care For Our Environment or Ecology
First it was the Goa Government who was trying to make a "mickey" of the Supreme Court with the Cidade de Goa ordinance and now it is the turn of the Centre, The Supreme Court law clearly states that no mining should be carried out within one km of protected areas, and the Centre has just gone right ahead and cleared mining leases to 3 firms within half a km from protected areas in Goa. Does any one in the administrative hierocracy have any reverence for the Supreme Court and it's laws ? or are the laws only for Aam Aadmi ? The world over, people have been crying murder, to save environment and here in India, we don't give a rat's arse for the environment. We are well aware of the affects of environmental degradation as a result of mining and the realities of it's ramifications, are very frightening to even fathom. It is high time we voiced our concerns to this ever magnifying colossal catastrophe that's staring at us in our face, even at this very moment. Man's greed has so overwhelmed his senses that he is become blind and seizes to see beyond the colour of money. To further our plight, our Goa Government in all it's generosity has also thrown caution to the wild, by stating that the crushing industry does not require land conversion to continues it's uncontrolled assault on our environment. It's a real pity that our fragile environment is laid bare for desecration and rape. The more the people object to the government's anti environmental policies, our pathetic government, boosts environmental destruction with even more impetus, for the suicidal mission As the ozone layer is thinning, the glaciers and icebergs are melting by the second because of global pollution and warming, our flora and fauna too have been disappearing very rapidly and bald, barren hills have taken up as landscapes and are an unpleasant sights all around, What legacy do we leave behind for our future generations ? Or are we not interested in the wellbeing of our future generations ? We have to force the government to stop mining and deforestation and protect our beautiful environment and our ecology, that nature in all it's generosity has given us. If we don't take a stand now it will be too late.
