Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Samir, Excellent article! Although there are solutions to almost all the problems you have cited, I am not convinced that the Goan politicians have the desire and drive to fix them all! The status quo serves them fine, as they are making enough money! Take the case of garbage disposal -- I had heard that Birlas had offered to build power plants in Goa that used garbage. When the Power Minister was approached, the 1st question that came up was about his percentage of the cost! I also heard that such plants have been built in other states, especially in Gujarat and solved the issue of garbage, electricity and provided jobs. I wrote a couple of times to the Gujarat Electricity board to verify that, but did not get any response. I believe Japan has been using these technology for years to get rid of their garbage and generate electricity. http://discovermagazine.com/2007/may/the-ultimate-garbage-disposal Naguesh Bhatcar sgbhat...@hotmail.com > Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:40:42 -0700 > From: samir_kele...@yahoo.com > To: goanet@lists.goanet.org > Subject: [Goanet] Potential disasters in Goa : My article in Herald today > > http://oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=28531&cid=14 > Constant audits of prevention mechanisms, not just reactive crisis > management, are needed to handle disasters, says SAMIR KELEKAR > > >
