Dear Adv. Aires,
You end your review of the violations in Goa, so many of them apparently
committed by the very authorities vested with the power to enforce the rule of
law and to abide by it themselves, with a hope that "our elected
representatives in unison will relentlessly strive to regain Goa’s glory. They
all owe it to Goa."
Have we not been LIVING IN HOPE for decades? What has been the result? Many can
argue that the result is even more collosal destruction of Goa up to a point
now, that we risk the drying up of nearly half of Goa from diversion of the
Mandovi, our life blood.
Going by numerous mass media reports the critical challenge that we Goans and
our non-Goan supporters face is how to get the entrusted autorities to
implement their duties without exception and reverse the continuing destruction
of Goa.

We need to elect quality representatives who will function strictly within
the Constitutional framework and uphold the Rule of Law at all times. It is
imperative that they stringently operate within the parameters of law. In
all their acts and deeds they are expected to discharge their
responsibilities without fear or favour whatsoever. This is what is
expected of them all
Safeguarding our environment should be their priority. There should be no
attempt to shield, protect or encourage any unlawful act including illegal
hill cutting or land-filling. Those we elect should never come to the
rescue of anyone breaching any law. If the rule of law is strictly adhered
to by all, Goa could evolve back as a better place.
Our roads and streets must become safer as the increase in crimes is a
matter of concern. Despite the law being supposedly in place, noise and air
pollution is going on blatantly with political patronage to the detriment
of more particularly the Senior Citizens and students. There should be a
concerted effort to eradicate the drug menace and the flourishing flesh
trade which has sullied Goa’s image. Although the law prohibits hoardings
along the national and state highways, the authorities seem to be
conveniently looking the other way. There has also been no compliance of
the Supreme Court directive that religious structures mushrooming along the
roads be removed. The unending spate of accidents has branded our once
famed tourist destination now as a death trap.
Let us hope our elected representatives in unison will relentlessly strive
to regain Goa’s glory. They all owe it to Goa.
