*http://www.navhindtimes.in/opinion/letters-editor-150* *Migrant Control *OF late, we hear about a lot of illegal activities in Goa. This matter is further worsened by the influx of migrants into this small state, which sadly, does not have a proper system in place to control this flood. These migrants need to be identified and issued identification cards with valid reasons to stay and work in Goa for specific durations. They need their health check-ups done at the time of entry into Goa and also need to be provided with proper accommodation/sanitation/toilet facilities by their contractor, employer or whoever shelters them (through rented rooms-to-let) at their own responsibility. At present, our health, garbage and pollution problem is only increasing day-by-day and it is a shame for us Goans to see them defecating everywhere (on beaches, hills, forests, railway tracks, roadsides, etc). Although the Constitution of India guarantees its citizen the right of freedom to work and stay in any part of India, it is the duty of the state government to keep the influx under control.
