Goemchea Rakhondarancho Awaz (GRA) is holding its second mass contact in Margao to give people of Goa affected by mal-governance to voice their anger and to empower them to take corrective actions and to liberate them fom the chronic woes plaguing them. Many views, suggestions and directions had emerged throgh participative process in the GRA's First public rally in Panjim on 15th March. Margao rally is to refine these further. There are many issues created by this breed of polticians. But based on public feedback, following issues emerged as priority ones: 1) Political change in all 40 constituencies and that GRA should act as a catalyst. 2) Installation of Lokayukta in Goa for pinning down politicians and bureaucrats on their conduct. 3) Special status for Goa inview of its tiny size, unique natural, cultural and social characteristics and to preserve land for nij-goemkars. 4) Sanitization of electoral rolls to ensure that only bonafide voters decide the Legilature. 5) Stop all illegal and semi-legal mines. Stop legal mining over above sustainable mining keeping in view the mineral needs of the posterity. People at Large should be the major beneficiaries in the windfall gains from mining. 6) Regional Plan should be people centric. Stop illegal and semi-legal construction. Alleviate infrastructure problems like garbage, parking etc. People are requested to join in large numbers and express their solidarity towards GOEM, GOEMKAR and GOEMKARPONN. Please carry as many suggestions. They will be analysed and compiled in a book form, which will become a guide for voters to vote in the next assembly election. TEAM GRA
