Change the Miramar Beach benches says Goacan. It was good of GOACAN aka Goa Can Do, the founders of Friday Balcao, to circulate the article by Paul Saldanha writing in O Heraldo of 15 November 2018 about the state of beach benches on Miramar Beach. I am obliged to Goanet for bringing this matter for attention of the general public and public administrators who appear to have no initiative, unless managed. Lets give them a hand while the cement is hot near Panjim Bus Stand.
The Bombay By Pass (MH47) goes through Goa snaking the coastal route on the west coast of India on its way to Kerala via Karnataka a distance of over 1270km is still under construction, there is enough spare cement dumped in Goa to mould new benches for Miramar and other public places in need of street furniture on land run by public authorities including the covering of storm ditches that are a hazard to the elderly and physically challenged. There is also plenty of wood from the felling of trees for Mopa Airport.Carpenters may be available from Sequeira Coffin Makers in Panjim. Appeals for Collection for one bed Coffin funds by Goans With Watermelon Smiles (GWS) in the London (England) area appear to have paused as there is so much money in the pot for Portuguese Passport holders of Goan Origin who have died. The NRI Office would be able to assist. There should also be enough funding from revenue in state taxes to pay for the labour force as required. Contact your MLA. After all that is needed is sand and cement held by metal plentiful in Goa for the creation of employment opportunities. Hope this is helpful.
