Hello and Happy Diwali to all We need to spread the word about this Tomatina Festival. There are already oppositions being published online. Here are the links http://www.targetgoa.com/newsd-Tomatina-Tourism-Minister-says-Yes-we-have-supported-it-but-I-will-study-it-3138 http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_environmental-groups-oppose-tomatina-festival-in-goa_1604634 We need to pass on the information as some people are under impression that it is some sort of music festival. I already posted on Facebook. According to above links it is interesting to know that Tourism Minister of Goa Mr Halarankar told that the organisers are coming with tomatoes and they are 'not edible but not rotten'. However GTDC is saying that no permission is given to the organisers yet. On Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 2:35 PM, Madhura Niphadkar <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Miguel, > Is there anything we can do?
