Pratima's outburst It was more of self launch after her resignations from APP. It sure was a motely crowd without sympathetic mass support and berating the local bodies and BJP MLA.As a lawyer she should have taken recourse to legal redress and not cheap publicity gimmicks. In what way did it serve to further the causecof victim.? There was not even a casual hint of immediate compensation.Lives of people are subsidiary to political mileage. .The filibuster was ignored by print media .Will she pursue the matter to its logical conclusion ?.Salute Green Goa Foundation at least for the first step of FIR ,if not the last.Public interst litigation has not taken roots apart from public protests at the drop of hat .Deaths due to potholes are too numerous to be ignored.I remember filing for compensation with the collector due to chlorine leak at Dandeavado Adv.Norma Alvares Goa Foundation and Adv.Rhado Rao extended voluntary help.It was the first all India landmark suit of public Interest liability successful case. THE compensation of less than a lakh claimed was paid in full though firm paid almost 5 lakhs in expenses, .Governor Jacob during President rule extended meaningful intervention The PWD division of NH66 are ensconced in their ivory towers inspite of written cautions and so too Electricity Dept. Panchayat, BJP MLA and silent political guns.The attitude of indifference and silence is loud as aurhorities have not even announced compensation for negligence and loss of life More accidents are waiting to happen on NH66 stretch since no permission is needed for the acquired trees since 1988.
