Let's learn from Chennai's mistakes: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-34992004 ---------------------------
How are we planning for Saligao?... We want, have encouraged or have actively supported: - a disaster-prone, garbage treatment plant on the hill on top of our heads, with 100s of garbage trucks trundling through populated vaddos of Saligao... - a football stadium in a water catchment area opposite Lourdes Convent... - a highway with tourist traffic zooming through the heart of the village... - insane construction at Salmona Spring which is the last corner of natural beauty and heritage left in Saligao... - illegal chawls and slums like the one in Abreuvaddo which are disease, fire and flood death-traps, without sanitation and water supply... - dangerous mobile phone towers in residential areas... - throwing garbage into our fields, gutters & nullahs... - illegal gaddos and other stuctures along our roads without proper setbacks, posing a danger to traffic, local villagers & animal life... - laying of water, electricity & phone lines anywhere at all, without any planning, resulting in chaos when they break down... - so many other mindless, village projects that are only calamities waiting to happen... When will we ever learn...oh when will we ever learn? Warm regards & solidarity.
