Hello Goanetters Seems the present topic of these days is Garbage. If I am not mistaken few days ago Mr. Tomazin Cardoz, had written a lovely article on this subject. And had also said that he would send the blueprint of the project to the present chief minister. Seems garbage problems are existing all over, Moira, Bicholim, Panjim (under the bridge? As Dr Willy says) well, and soon they will increase and multiply, what is our present Government deciding on it? With problems brewing in the present leadership of Pratapsingh Rane, Wonder if these major problems will ever be solved. For five years the tanker problem in candolim could not been solved. Only words, and blames, and now, this garbage problem. Wonder what happens to the ministers once they occupy the top seats. Other surprising news is that the selection of freedom fighters to go to Delhi, and non, from minority community. Wonder what happened to them.
