http://twitter.com/goanet --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Union Minister Jairam Ramesh's mandate for a moratorium on mining in Goa is a landmark decision and the culmination of a lot of work,sacrifices and activitism on the part of a huge number of Goans. This was all brought to a head at the recent meeting in Kotagiri, attended by Jairam Ramesh, with presentations by Carmen Miranda, Claude Alvares and others. The political climate in Goa is very volatile, and when something of this magnitude happens, we should let the person who had the courage to take this step, in this case Jairam Ramesh , know how we feel and how this has impacted us. It is important for this Union Minister to know that we are aware of his actions on our behalf, are grateful, and support him in this .He should hear from as many of us as possible, and it would be great if each one of us could involve our circle of friends and relatives in expressing our written thanks to him.
