To Goanet - I drove through Moolgaon last week before the disaster and both when we saw the scene, both my driver Babu and I remarked that something bad is going to happen. What we didn't know is that it would come true within a day or two.
All the Goan miners - Dempo, Chowgule, Timblo, Sesa, Salgaoncar, etc - have committed crimes against the Goan environment and the Goan people. I have seen first-hand the horrors wrought by mining in several of the mining villages. But these fellows will never be brought to account for their crimes. They and their spawn will retire to comfortable lives in Australia or New Zealand or Malta or Côte d'Azur if and when Goa becomes a toxic zone, which it will. Goa is beyond redemption now. I will have more to say on this in the next few days. r
