To, The Governor, citizens and netizens of Goa worldwide.
Your Excellency and my dear concerned citizens, I am back at home... This is just a short note to thank each of you for the timely intervention, support and solidarity when my wife Muriel and our 8 year old son, was threatened by Arjun Harmalkar, the builder who continues to destroy with his construction work, the fragile ecology of the Conservation Zone at Saligao's, world famous Salmona Spring. A group of Saligaokars from the Salmona Pariyavaran Manch and the Saligao Civic and Consumer Cell accompanied Muriel to the local police station when she went to register her complaint. The Police Inspector in charge of Calangute Police Station promised immediate action. Others phoned or emailed the concerned authorities. Local villagers offered to spend the night at our house. One expat netizen even volunteered to pay for a personal body guard if needed. Our whole family is very touched and deeply appreciates all these gestures of solidarity. It is only with such solidarity and unity that we the local citizens can continue to fight the forces that wittingly or unwittingly are destroying Goa at so many different levels. We are heartened by the fact that your Excellency and certain sections of the bureaucracy and the Police force, are sensitive to the needs, fears, hopes and aspirations of local citizens and the future of Goa. To each of you in Goa and around the globe, many thanks once again from my whole family, for the protection and support afforded them when I was away from home. And of course...immense gratitude from me. Solidarity. Mario Mascarenhas.
