Extremely noble cause but contradictions galore. While the Oil & Gas conservation forthnight is declared the government of India does little towards realising this dream. Billboards and posters will offer some decoration while a few may also get some gainful employment for a few days. Cars continue to roll onto the road and everyone is driven to burn fossil fuel because the public transport system is in shambles. In fact it works out cheaper owning a private vehicle than using public transport in Goa. Then we have wonderful traffic jams and speed breakers every few metres which compels changing of gears and acceleration. Frequent power supply interruptions requires generators run on fossil fuel. And then we have those who care the least and are not ready to walk even for 100 metres. They just need a vehicle to substitute their limbs. So one more week will pass. Another program will be held to utilise the budgetary provisions and thereafter it will be "Good bye until next year'.
