In attn of Mr. Jose Oscar Noronha.


Dear Mr. Norohna,

Your below contents did raise my eyebrows & I must comment on your efforts in gratifying the considerations of Ms. Carmita Miranda…

Make no mistakes, trust! It’s very very simple and effortless for any personal to shoot out in air with some whimsical & fanciful words …But in reality your mere spurious sayings in here will not hold good.

I say so, for one has to be there on ground and bring up the necessary changes… Sitting IN NEW JERSY (USA) or LONDON & trying to improve something will certainly NOT HOLD GOOD with such elongated dictum holdup

Should you or Ms. Carmitta so be interested in safeguarding OUR GOA’S interest , I would recommend to be there on goan soil and carry out the necessary implications.

No hard feelings.. Mog assundi..


Best regards
Charles Fernandes

Subject: For the Future of Goa's environment - S.O.S. Goa


Dear Friend,

Carmen Miranda (Carmita) was my contemporary in High School (Liceu) in Goa, a couple of years my junior. She is also the first cousin of my childhood friend Luis Miranda, today an Urological surgeon practicing in New York, whom some of you might know. Carmen has settled in the UK for many decades now, and lives in London. As you will know, the actions of builder-developers along the coastal belt, and mining activity in the hinterland, threaten the sources of drinking water and the very basic living conditions and environment for our people.

Attached is an update and an appeal from Carmen.  To her credit,

a) Living in London, she has no vested interest. It is her love of the homeland that prompts her to step out of the comfort that she is entitled to in her golden years and spearhead a movement for containing predatory mining activity.

b) Using their own resources, she and her fellow activists have delivered results. They have prevailed upon an Union Minister in Delhi to order a stay of expansion of mining exploration. Carmen, who has been a journalist specialized in environmental affairs, intends to set up an NGO to support and fund whatever actions may be necessary in Goa and India to counteract the backlash and lobbying from powerful mining interests.

Your support is appreciated for now, including forwarding the attached letter to friends and acquaintances. In the future, you may contribute to the NGO. You may contact Carmen directly, using the e-mail provided.

Thank you for your kind attention. Hope health is improving Warm regards!



Oscar Noronha
