EDITORIAL COMMENT | Deep Trouble <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4178256.cms?frm=mailtofriend>
Please check out the above link. Acute water shortage could happen in the North, could happen in the South , could happen in the East as well as the West, but it's not going to happen in Goa !!!! If we are thinking on these lines, we are in for a rude shock. My place does not fall in the mining area, so it will not affect me, this ideology will certainly lead us to the epicenter of disaster. Water is an universal necessity, no water no life. We have seen the misfortune of people all over India and we should thank God that Goa has not yet had an experience on that front, and just because we have been fortunate so far, we shouldn't be complacent and take our water resources and our water bodies for granted, in fact we should do all we can to protect our water resources and water bodies. The way mining, hill cutting and land filling is going on rampantly in Goa, the doomsday doesn't look very far. I pray to all Goans, support the fight against mining and mega housing, immaterial of the place or the area it's happening. Don't wait for it to come to your doorway, try to stop it before you or the rest of Goa succumb to it. We know that our politicians will not protect Goa and Goans, so it's up to us to take up the gauntlet and do something positive to stop mining all together before our wells and our water bodies run dry. May be that's what Ali baba and his forty thieves want to happen, our Ali Baba could do the Maria Antoneta of France, by saying "if you don't have water, than drink beer, Mr. Kingfisher would be delighted, wouldn't he and coffers overflowing for the thieves !! Goa, watch out , united we stand, divided we fall, stand united in our fight against mining and mega housing.
