COMMENTS: It is really painful to travel to Sanguem. I lived in Cuncolim but went to Sanguem for work. Many times, I reached 3 hours late. I had to rent a house to stay at Sanguem. My children are not happy with the school. My wife had to leave part-time job. My life is like hell. Many of my neighbours in Cuncolim and relatives in Chinchinim, Margao and Vasco are blamming me for settling at Sanguem. They really do not know about the traffic problem in Quepem-Curchorem-Sanvordem-Sanguem.
Concerned people living in Panjim, Margao, Mapuca or Vasco must visit this area and do something. Police like Tony from Cuncolim are all aware but they have no say against our CM, who is the sole responsible. Only if he is dislodged this can stop. I thank Floriano-bab for visiting though very late. I know that political parties wake up only at the time of elections and make stunts like this. But atleast he did that. Others like GBA, who took upon them to save Goa, did nothing. I phoned Oscar/Shridhar/Bhatikar many times three years ago to come and see the problems. They avoided because they were close to mining company owners. Can others do what Floriano did? Ivo In response to: Nobert: It is even more surprising that the hole-and-sole of a Goan Political Party: Did not know where Caurem was, which is in news for last 6 months. Was shocked to see Curchorem-Sanguen traffic problems, continuing for 5 years Never visited this major area for 5 years. Did not have any member or help in such a large area. Can be easily misdirected. Lack of knowledge of what is happening in a small place like Goa and misdirected path can do more harm to Goa and Goans than good. Is it not time for retirement?

At Quepem, we were misdirected and in the bargain we landed up proceeding to Curchorem-Sanguen instead of Caurem. What we experienced has shocked us to our toes. Normal road traffic is not possible with hundreds of laden truck proceeding towards Sanguem and empty ones returning to the mines. Other vehicles must zoom in an out between the trucks whenever opportunity is available. This is not a traffic problem. This is a human rights problem. Ordinary life is paralysed totally and completely.
