Dear Editors Local Newspapers I am resident of Dona Paula and I am now in 80s. Let me express first that during Portuguese era the tourists were almost negligible and slowly started caching up the trend and now is nearing saturation and definetely by Christmas the crowd will be untorable for motorist to move the city. I think those days are gone. Today I had to struggle so much even to complete a round of this Dona Paula circle. Then I saw 3 policemen standing together at the side of Police check post. I decided to convey my grievance to them. I told them that these tourists are crowding the circle and the road. They are not local but from neigbouring states who are roaming at any direction. Even to urinate the tourists could not find any toilet nearby, and they had to use a nearby building wall through a private plot. My request to the Government is to be alert right now as we are at October month and GOD only knows what will happen by Christmas. Will the authorities take this as input from me so as to improve the situation at least for Panjim if not Dona Paula as Christmas season is round the corner.
