"Goa is not a prostitute to be used and abused to satisfy the lust and greed
of this generation only. We have to look at it from a long term perspective
of the generations to come".
Dear Edwin n Diana,
I would want to re-phraze the above as under:-
" GOA IS NOT A PROSTITUTE TO BE USED AND ABUSED BY BERLUSCONIS OF THIS WORLD
TO SATISFY THEIR LUST AND GREED. THERE IS ALSO A LONG TERM PERSPECTIVE THAT
MUST BE CATERED TO FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO REAP."
Very well said, indeed.
As I have said, these guys sit on haystacks and sermonize us Goans, the foot
soldiers with weighty lectures about development and jobs high salaried
jobs for Goans which we shall never see from these national hyenas. You must
tell these jokers that the high salary or government jobs are advertised
first in Chennai and Kerala and when these are filled up, these ads figure
in Goan newspapers and when Goans call up, they are told these jobs are
already filled up.
Uttarakhand in deed.
Cheers

Hey Mervyn and Tim
First of all both of you seem to know peanuts about Goa so cut out all the
supercilious advice and free unwanted consultancy services and leave us
country bumpkins to fend for ourselves. We are those who have stayed with
our land and have not gone off to seek greener pastures.
About your Alice in Wonderland version of development, that pie in the sky
is what the Uttarakhandis bought and look at them today. So please pay us
the courtesy of believing that we know what we are doing and why we are
doing it or else do your homework properly and don't try to brainwash us
with your half baked versions of westernised transplanted development
which may work for you in your conditions wherever you are in the world
God bless you both. And for your kind information, Mopa is also at the
foot of the ecologically sensitive western ghat region, which needs to be
preserved and protected. The Mopa people, who are all Hindus by the way
,are fighting this airport tooth and nail, even gone to court and have
been coming all the way from Mopa to Salcete to speak at the various
public meetings that have been held there. There is a huge and flourishing
agricultural industry in Mopa which is filling the people's stomachs very
satisfactorily indeed.
Why displace and disrupt people's lives and endanger the ecology of the
place when Dabolim which is already existing, is good enough for Goa' s
civil aviation needs forever. 36,800 square metres of land adjacent to the
airport was notified for parking and other airport expansion. Inexplicably
(well not really, we can all guess why), it was suddenly denotified and
given for commercial construction to a builder with connections in high
places. THere is no essential infrastructure available in Goa. Water,
power is a problem. Recently the government has publicly declared that it
cannot handle the garbage problem. Then why give NOCs for these mega
projects when you cannot provide the necessary services. Better to use the
land for Dabolim expansion rather than give it to a builder when it has
already been notified. And we have heard all the fairy tales about jobs
for Goans, but have yet to reach the "happily ever after" ending.
Please understand that Goans are okay with development, but certainly not
rapacious molestation of the environment which is passed off as
development. Goa is not a prostitute to be used and abused to satisfy the
lust and greed of this generation only. We have to look at it from a long
term perspective of the generations to come.
