Arwin! This is indeed a very bold and important step on the part of the Sao Jose de Areal villagers. Hope the Villagers of other areas where the migrants live wake up and protect our beloved Goa from all the evils to come.
Keep up the good works and the struggle to save Goa. You have the support to strenghten your hands to accomplish the mission.

They have demanded at the Gram Sabha hastily convened with a single day's notice, that the election authorities must verify whether migrants whose names have been included in the electoral rolls have been registered after verifying their transfer certificates. The members have lodged their strong objection to migrants being registered in the electoral rolls. They have sought three months time to study the electoral roll themselves and find out which migrants brought transfer certificates from their native states. The gram sabha has determined that it will not allow the registering of migrants without the transfer certificates from their native states. Thanks to the vigilance of the villagers of Sao Jose de Areal, other villages can follow suit and demand to see if the migrant registered in the electoral rolls have submitted transfer certificates or not. All that is needed is to apply to the Election Commission Goa under Right to Information. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
