Gauree Malkarnekar of the Times of India (Goa) has been doing a superb job recently, reporting about how the villagers from the mining belt are reacting to the fact that their farms and fields are becoming productive again - now that mining has been banned. Do read the articles (links below) and forward this mail to people who understand how much harm mining has done to Goa.
And of course provide your feedback to Gauree (gauri1183 at gmail dot com). Such genuine journalism has to be appreciated. Cheers!
