Public meet to highlight govt’s failure on various fronts today MARGAO, MAY 16
The Village Groups of Goa are holding a public meeting on the May 17 at 10am near Blueberry Hill, on Verna Plateau to protest against the failure of the Government of Goa to act on all the illegalities such as hill-cutting, filling of paddy fields, construction activity in eco-sensitive zones, illegal mining, land grabbing by the Government, Collapse of law and order in the state etc. Cyrdon Madeira informed on Sunday that the meeting is open for the people of Goa to come and join hands to save what is left of Goa, for the future generations. He said till date many NGO’s and village groups have been fighting mini battles to achieve justice in their own areas, with no outside support or helping hand. Madeira said many village groups have joined hands and are united for the first time in the history of the state of Goa, adding this by itself says a lot and that being the sons and daughters of the soil are fed up and have lost all their patience. “They feel neglected, cheated, disgusted and angered at the state of affairs as they are in the state. With the Government having no regard for it’s people the only option left is to meet and get as many people into the fold and proceed with a future course of action”, he added. The group has appealed to the people to stop being slaves of politicians and sell their conscience for a few pieces of silver. “This is the mother of all public meetings and it is in the best interest of every Goan to lend their support by attending this meeting. As children we all owe our motherland the protection she deserves in times of need. Let us save our motherland from turning into a concrete jungle and from a green Goa we knew to a brown Goa we would not want to be associated with. Let us stop being greedy as when everything deteriorates and dies money cannot and will not be able to feed us”, he added. http://www.oheraldo.in/news/Local%20News/Public-meet-to-highlight-govt-rsquo-s-failure-on-various-fronts-today/36915.html VIVA GOA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Reply to sender<[email protected]?subject=save+what+is+left+of+goa:+*Village+Groups+of+Goa*>| Reply to group<[email protected]?subject=save+what+is+left+of+goa:+*Village+Groups+of+Goa*>| Reply via web post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-world-europe/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJvdmYyNHQ1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI4MjkwMDMEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzOTM1BG1zZ0lkAzgzMwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEyNzQwOTIxOTY-?act=reply&messageNum=833>| Start a New Topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-world-europe/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlYWRzaXFlBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI4MjkwMDMEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzOTM1BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTI3NDA5MjE5Ng--> Messages in this topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-world-europe/message/833;_ylc=X3oDMTMybXJldHVpBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI4MjkwMDMEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzOTM1BG1zZ0lkAzgzMwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEyNzQwOTIxOTYEdHBjSWQDODMz>( 1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-world-europe;_ylc=X3oDMTJldW0zdmZiBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI4MjkwMDMEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzOTM1BHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZnaHAEc3RpbWUDMTI3NDA5MjE5Ng--> MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!
