* [Goanet] Meanwhile, 21000+ trees felled in Mopa https://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg128379.html Frederick Noronha
Looks like the MOPA airport project is being steam rolled regardless of environmental concerns by NGO. This reminds me of an ancient civilization the Pyramids of Egypt. In Panjim a beautiful building in the shape of a pyramid is the Library from which a blueprint can be taken. With 21,000 trees being felled and the fate of the wood yet undecided perhaps the authorities can consider pyramid building on land within MOPA to receive the dead being brought to Mother Goa from Abroad for Burial as these bodies will be contaminated with chemicals to prevent decay. The coffins will be zinc or lead lined and airtight before export to Goa from the country death occurred. In Goa I understand graves are recycled every three years as bodies decompose. To prevent confusion in a land that lacks common sense, bodies from abroad laced with chemicals may not have decayed after three years and may be assumed to be saints.A problem for the Church and Society. If you agree my suggestion for a pyramid area next to Mopa should be considered for the long term. Who does one seek permission from. were the felled trees approved as grass to be cut? As Goa trundles into the next century at least there may be a trace of the present day in the shape of Goa Pyramids. Melvyn Fernandes Thornton Heath Surrey England 5 March 2018
