With beef having become history, for now, Goa now faces
being strangled with the closure of all cross-border commercial traffic. In a
protest against road tolls, trucks will stop moving, effectively ending the
import of over one half of all greens,
meat and grain consumed by us.
Karnataka has refused to heed our pleas to stop work on the
damn on the Mandovi. They also control the fields that produce
the gas we expected to start burning this year, and their new Congress
government may have scores to settle with BJP Goa.
My not so 'educated' guess is that the new 'Suraj' on the horizon
does not bode well for the territory: the independence a few have yearned for
may not be so terribly palatable, after all. eric.
