Hi SaligaoNetters!
Looks like all are in hibernation, nobody replies to my queries.

I would suppose Dr. Willie is ok now, guess Savio didnt meet him when in
Saligao. Dr. tripped & in falling, fractured his arm/shoulder.
I was down in Saligao in August and I must say that along with my boys (11
& 7 yrs), I had a frolicking time at the 'Salmona Zor'. . . . bringing back
all the memories of our younger days... Despite all the buzz about the
water possibly being contaminated, I was surprised to see many people
living in the vicinity of the spring, carrying pots full of water home for
their consumption. I did talk to some and they said they have been using
the spring water for years now......
It was disheartening though !!!....to see that monstrous 2-storey house
already up and nearing completion right at the mouth of the Spring. It is
indeed sad....that the people in power(concerned Authorities) give a damn
about the enviromental encroachment at this very pristine, sylvan and
ethnic enclave which our beloved Saligaonkars have prided themselves with,
for over a century!!! :( :( :( The supposed clearance of building
licenses / occupancy certificate by the issuing authorities smack of total
disregard to 'Vox Populi' and nothing but corruption. This only goes to
prove that old adage "money can buy" .. .. .. anything and anyone...
least those who have no values and are morally corrupt in their souls.
Hurrumph! what's new?
The efforts, hard work and pains of the many Mario's and Muriel's seem to
have just flown down the rivulets of the Salmona Spring... It is a sad
scenario for all of us .....
Sad but true if as Savio says... that the building/house is nearing
completion. I thought all that had stoped after the Govt./Governor stepped
in & the necessary papers were filed under respective dept. - Environment,
conservation or whatever....
Any further update on this then? perhaps I missed out on the news & updates
when I was not on the list & didnt get any messages nor was able to send my
messages across.
Take care.
Except for those of us in this part of the world, hope the rest of you
around the globe are enjoying a good weekend.
Regards
Annette
