While special status to Goa will solve some of the problems, dont think it is a
panacea
to all evils. The law has to be carefully crafted otherwise it will be easily
subverted in
the following ways.
1) A goan can own land on paper and still lease it / rent it to outside parties.
2) A Goan can start polluting business, five star hotels, or mega projects.
The key is --- the laws for land use have to be strictly enforced. RP 2021 has
to be enforced so that irrespective of who the owner is, land is not used for
concrete jungles.
Neverthless, special status would be useful and could make things a bit more
difficult
than what they are, for the looters.
