Comment:
Nothing is unsafe in Goa until a disaster actually happens. This offers the
prospect of earning public sympathy by doling out relief and wiping the
tears of the victims. The greed needs
to be satisfied first, safety of citizens can come later. People like to be
kicked in the backside by the politician and then apply the pain removing
balm given by him.
The repeated
highlights in the national media on the police drug nexus in Goa was dubbed
as exaggeration by some journalists themselves, leave aside police and
politicians. Now how come a constable was arrested in Belgaum with a huge
consignment of drugs?
Where are those wise men of Goa who talk about a
"spectre of pessimism overtaking Goa"? For them everyone who raises concerns
is a bogey man.
Are we not familiar with government propaganda set off in urban India about
'India shinning' when actually the countryside was bleeding?
Have these tremors also got any connection with another phenomena of
flooding that rocked Canancona a year ago?
