Hey Rico, Let us not get into the "elite" crap. I probably eat and relish more street / junk food than you do. Might be an interesting journalistic rhetoric , but most people with their heads in the right place can see through this pseudo philanthropy - which is nothing but selling land illegally. Which in the first place is not even salable ! How come "development" in Salilgao only means changing land usage. Can you please list out "NON LAND BASED" developments done in our village by any panchayat ? I have personally handed out a list of activities to the MLA an panchayats that could take up activities NOT connected with change in land usage / usurping / selling land, but of course what is in it for "them" ? What about the safety aspects with the gaddos coming onto main roads ? have you noticed the traffic jams that are created due to vehicles parked in front of the gaddos ? How come the panchayat is sitting on the market redevelopment plans made years ago ? One can locate dozens of such stalls without jeopardizing traffic and disfiguring the landscape of Saligao. But - what is in it for "them" ? What about the garbage that these gaddos will generate ? Isn't the pile of rubble and growing row of tin sheds in front of your house a clear evidence of cancer that is growing ? Could we use the Saligao net for more than just "nice sounding words and articles" ? More vigilance, accountability , governance monitoring, calling - "spade a spade", making Saligao a better place for people to live in , children to grow up. More action and result oriented ? Rico , your involvement on the ground would complement the power on the net and help make a difference.
