While it is important at this point, not to negate MLA Mauvin Godinho's recent initiative for Garbage Treatment, I hope that this is not done with the primary aim, to remove hurdles for the promotion of Mega-Projects in the area. I request Mauvin to also take the initiative to stop all un-necessary mega housing projects, which are proven to be to the detriment of Goa, its land, identity & demographics; then only will I think that there is sincerity in his initiative. It is a common knowledge that there are many Goan MLAs, who have considerable stake/investment in land and mega-projects in Goa; of course with the use of Taxpayers’ money via excessive corruption; and of course to make even more illegitimate income for themselves and their business partners!!
