Happy New Year Twenty-Ten --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Goanet - Hyenas like DLF detailed by Dr. Alvares are also set to strike other parts of Goa. The hill at Reis Magos - you can see it from around the Children's Park area in Campal - has been marked for construction the same company. I have posted photos of it earlier, and I have (or had) the RTI papers as well. The panchayat papers were being manipulated in real time! That is, there was behind-the-scenes activity even as my application was being processed. I could see the expression on the panchayat secretary's face when I asked him searching questions (to be fair, the man knew a scam was being cooked but was utterly powerless - these guys are used as little pawns. I am convinced that the fight against these anti-Goan forces cannot be won through the courts (in fact, the big national builders are hoping that the matter goes to court since it is THEIR turf and they know the pitch well). There has to be a mass resistance. One more point - the criminals also know how to break up unity within a village. The villagers will be promised a temple or a chapel - you know the rest. Rane, Juawarkar et al - why don't these pieces of garbage simply die and leave us alone? r
