Hi Freddy, You have succinctly stated it in clear simple terms. Now how do you get those idiots, greedy self-centered sharks to lay off?
The biggest off them is Mr. Aggarwal of Sterlite. Many do not know this guy and how he operates. Cue:::::??? He is not interested in the mines ; it's something else. Bye and take of yourself and family, because these battles require the support and wishes of all - in unity Goa can be saved.

Water was in abundance, in most parts of Goa in the good old days, so what has gone wrong ? Those who live in Mumbai have been hit hard and are already feeling very insecure of their future, because life without water is impossible, but in Goa who care ? Every body knows the adverse effect of mining, silting, hill cutting, land filling and mega housing on the water resources and water bodies, are we acting wisely and prudently ? Or do we think that, no, it's not going to happen to us Goans ! If so, we are destined for doom and that's a fact. Checks should be made around every village and notes made as to how many wells and ponds have gone dry and how many others are about to run dry ? The Selaulim dam, which is the life line of people of south Goa, has been silted and is being done openly, don't we know Pascal's laws of pressure ? I am sure most of our Ministers will not know them (sale angute chaap) ? Don't we know what tragedy occurs when the inner walls our arteries and veins are saturated with cholesterol ? With the cholesterol thickening inside the walls, increases pressure on the heart and results in a heart attack, With the sides and the bed pushing the weight of water on the front portion of the wall of the dam it is only inevitable that raptures will occur and ultimately, disaster is just waiting to happen ? Is our Government blind to the safety and the wellbeing of the people of Goa ? If the Politicians do not care than it's up to the people to see that they remain safe by taking the initiative and taking law into their own hands to protect themselves and their future, have to do what must be done before it's too late. Mega housing is cutting and eating away into our very valuable and limited resources like water and electricity, I have written about this an umpteen number of times, what we need to do is like Ash said, we should at all costs develop, enhance and safeguard these precious resources first. Development at the cost of ecology and human tragedy is not worth it. Sustained development as per our infrastructure, population and our needs should be the priority of our Government. Uncontrolled and unsustainable development will only lead to further disaster, chaos and anarchy. Our Politicians, most certainly should not make Goa gulp more than it can swallow but should only be allowed to stretch as per the size of it's bedding, but the greed of our corrupt politicians has developed amnesia towards actual facts which will further deteriorate and devastates our ecology and our natural resources.
