Reading all the news of the election fever, on behalf of many Goan NRIs,
I would like to take this opportunity to indicate that the Tourism
Ministry should take into consideration about the
festivities/hotels/shacks and all promoting tourism that the time limit
for music/entertainment should be extended at least until 03:00am as is
the case internationally. Surely these entertaining institutions have
enough financial resources to meet the needs and entertain the guests
and will have their own in-house security to ensure there is peace and
tranquility in the vicinity.
Those entertaining hosts who would like to prolong the festivity timings
beyond 03:00am (for e.g. weddings or special dances for New Year,
Easter, St.Anthony, St. Joao, May Queen Ball, Club's annual, Harvest
dance, Christmas,etc) should opt for special permission.
Law and order has always prevailed in our susegad Goa until the tourism
ministry opened their welcome hands too wide thus permitting 'ghantis'
lamanajingas or whatever they name them and indians from other states to
build their shanty homes and bribe them to vote for those in power thus
polluting and disturbing the peace in our state.
We hope that proper census is done and those who are non-Goans should be
sent back to their state and arrange proper checks at the borders to
ensure 'tourists' whether Indian or foreigners have some forms to fill
thus indicating their address/place of origin and their residence
address in Goa and accordingly leave our state within the span of their
permitted visit period. Indeed, it will be difficult at the offset but
it is better late than never to safeguard and protect our state.
To manage the hotels and other entertaining venues and streets during
late hours - we have able police patrol who should do their jobs with
dedication and not be greedy for bribes. They should be given motorcyles
for easy tracking or perhaps mounted on horses - keep our GOA clean,
tidy and honourable!
Beautify the city, proper road lights, keep the cattle away from the
streets specially at nights as they are more than the RTO not caring for
motorists or anyone and just laze on the roads, by contacting the
Cattle-owners with warnings and fines and then the Municipality should
arrange to take the cattle in their custody - this will teach the cattle
owners to build proper fences for their cattle to graze and laze!
We are ready to help in anyway to protect our State and if those elected
cannot satisfy the public then they should step down with honour at
their own!
