I see. So reams and reams of more by-laws, wideball-laws, noball-laws, mother-in-laws, grandfather-in-laws etc will magically restore Panjim to "its old glory." Have you decided on the font yet? Certain font might be more conducive to instill... whatever it is you want instilled. >As a concerned citizen, I have stopped many people from dumping >garbage into the St. Inez Nullah. But I will never stop you from dumping garbage on Goanet. That's a promise. Following the PIL initiated by moi in 2007, the High Court passed an order in April 2008 directing the CCP to enforce civic discipline and maintain a clean environment throughout its jurisdiction. It was mostly the same cast of CCP men & women in charge then. The CCP willfully chose to ignore the court order. I had to then file a contempt petition. What is, therefore, required is not more "laws" but enforcement of existing laws and city regulations. The CCP currently has all the authority it needs to curb violations and infringements. But there is not a chance that anything will be done that affects intake of haftas and increase of vote banks. When I was expending personal coin and time over Panjim, only a handful of Panjimites volunteered to help. This guy who claims to be a "concerned citizen" wasn't among them. He was then, and remains now, the "only-talk-and-nothing-more" citizen. The one thing he is good at is laying a small egg and then clucking about it as if he has moved an ocean. That's our man for you, in an eggshell. Regards, r
