Malaria has raised its ugly head once again in Goa and all I can say is that we are bringing this scourge upon ourselves. Many of the areas affected particularly the Northern Coastal belt are rampant with all sorts of illegalities for commercial basis; which have all result in severe Sewage problems making Malaria spread viciously and these same areas are also witnessing rampant constructions, which have only worsened the situation. Many Corrupt Goans & Non Goans, appear to have scant regard to the environment and common sense laws, guidelines & regulations, in order to make a fast buck. And what is worse is that the Public at large (Local & NRI Goans) are too complacent to say or do anything in addressing the core issue; lest they upset their family members, friends, fellow villagers etc. involved in the illegalities or maybe they themselves have stake in the illegalities. Goans have to see “the writing on the wall” and each do our part to address the core issue, instead of living in denial and pretending all is good in Amche Goem!!
