The Bombay High Court at Panaji today indicated that it may have to take Suo motu cognizance on the alleged rampant drug menace in Goa. This observation by a Division bench comprising of Justice A.P.Lavande and Justice U.V.Bakre was made while hearing a petition against Noise Pollution.
The Court expressed its unhappiness regarding the sorry state of affairs with the authorities abdicating their responsibility and failing to act in accordance with law. Expressing concern that even the Calangute MLA Michael Lobo was helpless after having filed a complaint about drug trafficking and even naming the alleged offenders, the Court inquired with Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni about the sad state of affairs especially in Goa’s northern coastal belt. It is high time Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar gets his act together. He should realize that his new found love for Casinos along with the flourishing drug trade is a lethal combination that will further degenerate and disfigure our Goa beyond recognition. Mr. Chief Minister you had promised a Parivartan and good governance. But you have lost it all. Perform or quit for the sake of Goa. Infact with your despicable performance over the last 16 months you have lost all moral authority to continue as Chief Minister of Goa.
