Judas one of the 12 chosen Disciples of Jesus Christ sold his Soul and Fidelity ......for a few pieces of Silver.
Do we have a similar case here? Personal gain is everyones Right, but at the Cost or Sacrifce of all Morality? Please tell me about it. Hypothetically or personally , I am more inclined to believe what our Dear Delaney friends say rather than all the Legal or Legalized matters all these various Governement Departments come up with,sometimes. Sanjeev, Excellent Ariticle of yours indeed. I have a very interesting and an ongoing matter with our Wonderful Saligao Panchayat. and I would definitely like to share a wonderful example with all, very shortly, of what happens there sometimes.. Have a great Day, ALL Maxwell Coutinho Muddavadi/Abu Dhabi ----- Original Message ----- From: Sanjeev Trivedi To: Saligaonet Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2012 9:50 AM Subject: [SALIGAONET] Definitions and a plea - (Mobile tower saga) In order to classify the arguments better , may I suggest differentiating matters that are LEGAL and those that are LEGALIZED (or Legalised) I will desist copy / pasting from a dictionary , but urge people to look-up the definition , especially of the latter. Ashley, you have been the front runner in obtaining information under RTI against many illegal projects, and we have spent a lot of time going through this, and seen how things were being LEGALIZED. Saldly, in Goa , there are only shades of grey from illegal to legalized and then to Legal . Aldeia de Goa complex is a sterling example. To give examples of such "legalization" in our own village 1. 6 mtr roads - were created and LEGALIZED 2. GADDOS and KIOSKS that are now grouted into the ground and have electricity etc are LEGALIZED 3. The home next to Vincy Cordeiro - which is being "renovated", adding a over 20 bathrooms, swimming pool etc - WILL be LEGALIZED in due course. Through the permission for the moment is NON- COMMERCIAL, it seems inevitable that the it will turn into a HOTEL. 4. The petrol pump across the crematorium WILL BE , if not already LEGALIZED. and the list goes on and on...... The Assistant Director of panchayat has a reputation for over-riding Panchayat decisions and assisting in such (legalizing) processes. His endorsement of the tower, would cast further suspicion , if anything. Ashley, - Do you seriously expect us to believe that the tower is completely legal and no bribes were given to legalize it ??? 15th Dec - application, 15 Dec Panchayat meeting, 15 Dec - NOC !!?? - Will you be able to come with us shoulder-to-shoulder in future , when we are trying to stop the next illegal construction / structure / project that comes up ? - Being the owner of the land, can your conscience absolve you from the moral responsibility of what is happening in your property ? - Will you always shirk away when the heat is too much and say that you have nothing to do with the project , and that one should talk to Cyril ?( who has conspicuously stayed away from making any firm statements or showing any document ) - Are the "documents" not being shown since they are under the "legalizing" process ? - Will you be able to live with the burden, should some adverse health effects develop in the homes of your neighbours ? (even if it is a freak coincidence) You have said , that you are not doing this for commercial reasons, then PLEASE tell us why you are undergoing this stress, when a large majority of your friends, neighbours and villagers are BEGGING you not to permit the tower and relocate it. You said that it is a gift to the people of Saligao ! What if the villagers think that the gift could be poisonous ? should you still force it down their throats ? I (and surely the rest of us in Saligao) have had very high regards for you and your father , who have boldly taken up issues in the village. Your zeal and guts in spearheading the process of preparing the village level plan , shall never be forgotten. It is because of this very respect and affection, that people are baffled that at your disregarding the villagers' concerns and go against a gram sabha resolution that was once taken, to keep any mobile tower 500 mts away from residential areas. Forget the LEGAL and LEGALIZED , just do the RIGHT thing ! Why should you take a chance ...? Saligao cannot afford fragmentation in the team that needs to work harder against illegalities to come. (Even if the tower does come up...)
