Nobody talks about cultivating road manners and road culture,
something that would enhance the quality of life much more than the
pouring of fresh asphalt.

The 6-lane highway will transform Goa - coastal Goa, at any
rate - into one indistinguishable contiguous urban mass. The
damage would be incalculable and irreversible.
RESPONSE: Are you suggesting the aligning of this 6-lane highway will occur
along the present NH 17. This highway is presently meandering detrimentally
too close to homes along several stretches. The govt should consider
building a new highway in Goa's hinterland. There will be more trees to cut
and more bridges to build over the khazan lands. And without proper EA
safeguards, a bigger ecological disaster!!
The Dilli savage now has a choice of flights from sunrise
until sunset. A slew of trains is now on offer for the ghati
from Bihar or AP. Getting into Goa has never been easier.
RESPONSE: Hey, wait till the aliens figure this place out!!
