The government is required to have what one calls 'balls' to stop this
nonsense.
How can the government have the above when it's ministries are not
ministries but gifts to do what the concerned ministers want to do? And have
they not been lobbying hard to cut out the interference by the government
into their own kingdoms?
There has to be POLITICAL SANITY governing any government of the day.
In Goa this has been missing, except for a brief spell of President's rule
with Governor J F R Jacob ( 19 April 1998 - 26 Nov 1999)
Goa needs JFR Jacob as the governor for a full term of 5 years. Only then
Goa will be GOA once again to see the rule of law walking the roads, streets
and highways by day and by night, just as was experienced during the
erstwhile and much hated Portuguese regime.
Or
The alternative is for the sensible PEOPLE of Goa ( if there are any left
after this run of unabate'able corruption) to take law into their own hands
( and why not? the custodians of law i.e. the police and the politicians are
hand in gloves with the drug mafia, the tourist taxi mafia et al) and go
about establishing a state of PPS to PPS GOA.
And simultaneously put the Goa Su-Raj Road Map for Goa must go on the
billboards from Pernem to Canacona for its implementation.

It is not ENOUGH that GOOD n HONEST persons contest elections.
It is not ENOUGH that GOOD n HONEST voters elect good n honest persons.
GOA urgently needs 'HONEST SYSTEM of GOVERNANCE'.
Wherein, even a dishonest person is forced to be honest or to QUIT.
Only through PPS can such 'honest system of governance' be identified and
accepted.
PPS=PEOPLE for POLITICAL SANITY = PEOPLE'S POWER SYSTEM
Be bold. Display the 'PPS' sticker on your vehicle today, to reject
political madness tomorrow.

> Because of numerous complaints of fleecing government tried to introduce
meter system, tourist taxi operators vehemently opposed this move of the
government because their profits would drastically drop. Infact, two
members of a Royal Family from the Emirates were staying in a star hotel
in Cavelossim. They had to pay whooping Rs. 19,000 to travel to Panjim and
back to watch a film, such is the height of fleecing that these tourist
taxi operators adopt.
Secondly as per their tourist taxi permit they are not allowed to park
their vehicles anywhere near the vicinity of the hotels and have to
operate from home. With the exception of one operator, thousands of
tourist taxi operators violate this clause and lay siege to the entrance
of each and every star hotel in south Goa. They have gone to the extent of
demanding that the hotels build premises for them at the entrances. Now
the tourist taxi operators have upped their ante against the government’s
latest move to phase out 800 cc vehicles. At the same time they cry that
they cannot pay their installments. If the situation is so bad, how come
thousands are in this business and even more waiting in queue. It is
because there is lots of money in this business.
South Goa tourist taxi operators opposed government’s move to install
meters on their vehicles, flaunt permit laws, fleece tourists, threaten
other stake holders, when will the government try to curb their
activities, will it be when there is a casuality? (ENDS)
