Of late all Mumbai newspapers are carrying ADs about (re)buildings
coming up in Goa.On going through them one realises that the Cos.
involved are 1) from other states, & 2)keen on earning a fast buck
and couldn't care less on whether the environment/ecology is
disturbed. The future (of Goa) looks to be hading for a concrete
jungle,where every sq feet of space will be taken up by
hawkers/slumdwellers/foot-path dwellers, all living in harmony,not
paying any taxes,yet demanding their subsistence from the Goa
govt.(like free food,free electricity,free shacks on demand). Of
course the then govt. will give in to these demands as these will
provde the vote bank who will keep the ministers/officials in
power.This is the price of development, but for whose benifit?( By
the way are local people(goans) really benifitting from all this
development. Where and in whose pocket is the money flowing?
We require more(direct) People involvemnet to stop this Madness in
the name of development.
any comment/suggestion?
Vee Eff.
