COMMENT : At least Soter positions Goans as standing somewhere. In my
perspective we are very deep in muck, up to our nostrils. Just a little more
push to be drowned in it.
We have the Law in place, but every move made to sincerely bring
about justice is obstructed. We have elected people to govern the place; but
these very same people have turned into Justice obstructers and Law breakers.
Supreme Court Orders have been thwarted, RTI have been blatantly denied, Fourth
Estate have been stifled and manipulated, Gram Sabha decision are refused to be
acknowledged. There is absolutely no semblance of sanity. Law and Justice
enforcement is at its worst.
Garbage was one problem, but Margao is having a newer problem.
Sewerage water from apartment buildings being drained out in the road drainage
system, and no authority
seems to be doing anything about it, as if the stink of the garbage and elected
representatives was not enough.
