[Goanet] Cansaulim GBA meet ? Report
Cansaulim GBA meeting
But where are the Cansaulekar?
I am sure, the population of? Cansaulim (Panchayat)? is at least
10,000 but where are they all?
If one closely look at this pic, one can easily count up to 60
people occupying all the chairs.
Other who were standing behind and corridors would be not more
than 35, which means the total was less than 100

It is really sad and shocking to see this low turnout of Cansaulim villagers to
this serious problem affecting
their village. It is this callous attitude of Goans that is leading to the
downfall of Goa. We expect others
to solve our problems while we sit comfortably in our homes. We may feel we
have no
time and is not our problems, then we should take inspiration from others who
sacrificed to come from far away places to attend the meeting and lend support.
If we cant take active part as leaders, the least we can do is give our full
support to the people leading these protests.
After all no point in mourning later on when all is lost. I hope better sense
prevails and people realize
that it is never too late to come forward and to protest and compel the local
MLA/minister to bow to their wishes.
