While Goa is currently engaged in a needless verbal warfare over installation of statues, we need to laud, salute and recognize various persons and NGO’s more particularly the Goa Foundation led by Claude and Norma Alvares for toiling tirelessly over the years in dealing and highlighting issues concerning Goa’s environment and ecology including that illegal mining that has ravaged Goa. Their efforts are finally bearing fruit. A ray of hope for the coming generations who will now at least be able to see some remains of Goa. Our Goa, which was once the paradise of the East, now lies at crossroads for posterity.
We owe it to Goa to strengthen the hands of persons like Claude, Norma and others who are attempting to save what remains of Goa from the ruthless land sharks and the corrupt politicians.
