Tony,

As a Mapusacar, I find your post extremely upsetting. ?The Mapusa Friday market 
is, if I can quote Cecil, world famous, all over Goa. I find it extremely 
humorous that you, a resident of Vasco would dare comment about Mapusa. Vasco 
is so quaint, it makes a remote village in Bihar look like a bustling 
metropolis.?

Yes, we do have a parking problem in Mapusa - this is a reflection of our 
higher levels of economic development compared to you lesser Vascoites who 
keep?trespassing our haven in your overfilled KTC buses. Regarding your reply 
from Reginald Laurenco, my suggestion is that you wait for another few more 
years. We Mapusacars have better things to do, than reply to some irrelevant 
request from an immigrant from Vasco. In any case, he is quite busy dealing 
with very mess being created by your Vasco brothers who keep migrating to 
Mapusa in the jam packed KTC buses.??And you have the nerve to talk about 
garbage??

As a blue blooded, true son of the soil, I find it very saddening to see my 
Mapusa being ruined by the immigrants from Vasco. ?This is written in the hope 
that some one like Nasci will hear the cry of agonized?Bardezkars and do 
something about preserving Mapusa.?

Mapusa is a failed city. Sad that the taluka town of Bardez which once had
the best organized market in Goa has been allowed to become a shambles by
the powers that be. More so when the present Chief Minister and his Deputy
are both from Mapusa.

The bus stand is in a terrible state. There is garbage all around, people
urinate freely and the stench is awful. Sewage oozes out and forms a lake
in the parking lot of the bus stand. That is where the RTO conducts its
inspections. Two years back I wrote to Reginald Laurenco who was the
chairman of KTC - he promised an inspection which never materialized.

The market is today badly organized with no order or system. Garbage
abounds. The state of the gutters is unbeiievable. After seeing the state
of the drainage system in Mapusa, could one believe that we live in a
nation that is capable of a nuke and putting vehicles in orbit? Even
Mohenjodaro and Harappa had better drainage systems.

Parking space is not sufficient and no arrangements are made for
restricting the entry of vehichles or controlling their flow. The traffic
cops who patrol in Mapusa do not believe in preventive methods but rather
punitive methods on hapless victims like motorbike riders.

This is written in the hope that some one will hear the cry of agonized
Bardezkars and do something about Mapusa.
