The recent economic blockade (or more correctly, the blackmail) by states
supplying vegetables, milk and other essentials to Goa only underscores the
fact that Goa absolutely has to be as self-sufficient as possible.
It is no secret that middlemen from other states have invaded and taken

It is obvious that the zero tolerance to corruption does not extend to the

Gabriel de Figueiredo has rightly pointed out about the improper
disposal of hospital wastes which is a matter for grave concern. I
hope the concerned authorities take note and act in the matter.
Indeed, let alone hospital waste, it appears that we lack even a basic
concern for hygiene in our
It was indeed heartening to hear Alina Saldanha, Minister for Forests

littering of plastic waste will soon be made a cognisable offence.
Actually, any sort of littering, plastic or other, and even spitting,
should be made
Aaah, Roland, your words evoke such nostalgia..we had little

A dozen items from my wish list for Goa
1. A garbage-free Goa. Heavy fines for littering and spitting anywhere
in public, especially spitting of paan (implementing this right now
this will ensure substantial revenue to the government!)
2. Clean, hygenic, well-maintained markets.
At last there seems to be some hope on the horizon. Farmer and
agriculture-friendly inclusions in the new Government's budget are a
welcome sign indeed! Encouraging farming and local agriculture,
farmers clubs, floriculture, etc. instead of polluting industries will
reap large dividends for Goa in
