[Goanet] Another Illegal Construction

Another illegal construction My remarks: Goa is being destroyed every single day. The shameless (and now illegtimate) government of Digambar Kamat has no controls, no supervision, no enforcement, no monitoring, nothing! It is a free for all right now. Just yesterday the Utt Goenkara folks interceded in the illegal hill cutting going on in Curca by one Bhagatsingh Sonaye attached to Goa Medical College (reported in today's newspapers such as Tarun Bharat, Herald etc). That violations are happening all over is known to those in the highest rungs of power yet they look askance, or even collude to help the rich and the powerful. I would like to know why, given all this, the GBA Convener Dr Oscar Rebello has issued a paean to Digambar Kamat. The same Digambar Kamat and his Congress party who are complicit in Goa's ongoing destruction. Now who is going to deal with this Batim case? Regards, Parrikar, Is the destruction of Goa every single day for the last 30 years or so, Digambars master plan ? Successive politicians over these years are responsible. Barking and braying for the blood of Dr. Oscar and Digambar will only get donkeys and dogs around you ; not results. M. Parrikar and Mathany in your warped vision are the genuine custodians of a prosperous Goa. Come on Rajan, dont harp on and play your tune selectively to discredit Digambar and Dr. Oscar and exalt Manohar , Mathany and your tainted coterie. You are fooling yourself not majority of the Goans. John Collaco - Save all your chat conversations. Find them online.

[Goanet] Politicos and Shame?
Rajan Parrikar wrote To Goanet - What a shame it is that our Goan politicos - of all national parties - have to go running to their Papa and Mommy in Delhi for every little crumb. The normally full of himself Goemkar who reserves his "haanv saangta re tukka" bluster for fellow Goans has no qualms genuflecting before his Dilli honchos at the drop of a hat. Even a two bit thug like Sharad Pawar calls the shots in Goan politics today. Regards, r Rajan, Pimps, prostitutes and pigs have shame , not our Goan politicos. You hit the nail on the head. Oh what a shame Goan politicos!!!. John Colaco - 5, 50, 500, 5000 - Store N number of mails in your inbox. Click here.
[Goanet] SEZ and Oscar award
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Convenor of Goa Bachao Abhiyan (GBA) Dr Oscar Rebello has been nominated for CNN-IBN's Indian of the Year Award 2007 in public service category Vote for him at: http://www.cnnibnindianoftheyear.com/publicservice_voting_new.php --- Anil Desai wrote: "I am astonished that you could give such a clear example of dumb logic and twisted thinking. Correct me if I am wrong but it was Digambar and congress government that came into being because of him stabbing Parriker in the back that thrust 2011plan and SEZs on Goa. Are you seriously suggesting that ir was Parriker who was responsible for these two massive land scams? Secondly, if GBA and Oscar Rebello were so successful in protecting the goan land mass and environment because of their agitation in 2007, how come within months people of Goa had to come on the streets against SEZs. Was GBA asleep or was it complicit? Do we know whether all the land conversions under 2011 have been reversed? There should be no doubt that for the scrapping of SEZ, credit should go to Mathany, firstly for keeping a lot of disparate groups together and also for the master stroke of veiled threat vis a vis tourismthat ultimately persuaded this corrupt bunch of congressmen and women to do away with SEZ.. Oscar, unfortunately, got close to SVM and if you were there at the Lohia Maidan meeting you would have heard the convener of SVM proclaiming his support for Digu and Congress. So much for 'Apolitical' GBA!! Lastly, as far as we know, Mathany has not been nominated for any award or has he? Twisted thinking indeed. Anil Desai" Dear Anil You are confused , politically blind. You need to be ashamed not astonished. Which politician in the last two decades or so has not back stabbed to gain personal political mileage? You tacitly sanctify Parrikar and Mathany and castigate Oscar and deride the GBA movement. Name any seasoned hardcore politician who has not involved in loot mar and wholesale destruction of Goa for their own conceited and selfish motives. Name any politician who has not politically horse traded for their own selfish interest. Name one. The highest award possible may be conferred on him. Or are you suggesting that Parrikar and Mathany are the best among the worst. Goas destruction , SEZ and scams are the making of the corrupt politicians and their cronies who work at cross purposes and confound confusion among the cross section of Goans. Which sane Goan needs any further proof of this political insanity. Goa has spun out of control and a few Goans on this forum too are involved in brick bats and aggravating the situation instead of collaborating and working towards peaceful and prosperous Goa. Not only twisted , confused, crooked and tangled thinking And lastly Oscar has not gone fishing for awards. It is declared. The Oscar award goes to the common people of Goa John Collaco - Meet people who discuss and share your passions. Join them now.

When the dust settles, Dr. Rebello will write another sweet column extolling the "valiant, forthright and amazingly far-sighted Digambar Kamat." Next year, he will be in line for a Padma Shri nomination and my mailbox will be spammed by the non-existent "Rohit Paiguinkar." Stupendous achievement, Goans. Shabash! Dear Parrikar Replace Oscar Rebello & Digu with Mathany & opposition leader Parrikar. Rajan P., no one else is good enough to change Goa!!! Dumb logic and twisted thinking.

[Goanet] SEZ - Creation of Politician
Hi everyone , congress and bjp , Mathany or any. SEZ was not created by the comman man. It was a creation of greedy politicians and their cronies. Mathany or any politician deny this and prove yourselves. Let any politiacian or their cronies stand up and say they did what they did because Goans elected them to do what they wanted best. Goa is gone and if the fight to save Goa needs to be continued, politicians get out and sincere Goans get in. I know it's a point of not return - Goa is is raped and beyond salvage. But as a Goenkar I know hope is there. John Colaco - Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish. Click here to know how.

[Goanet] Advice to Mahatany.
Mr. Mahatany, Here is some advice which will serve your purpose of getting rid of SEZ. 1. Do not threatened poor innocent tourist who have nothing to do with the SEZ policy and permission to come into existence. I am aware the threat is to the Government. But the tourist and tourism will bear the brunt. 2. Threaten, get rid off, eliminate in the best possible manner the present tribe of politicians who are responsible for the situation today in Goa and that includes SEZ. 3. If you are keen and have the strength, the desire to stop the SEZ , pick on the politicians , the corrupt tribe of today and that includes you. Once again do not set the house on fire to catch the rat. John Silva Collaco - 5, 50, 500, 5000 - Store N number of mails in your inbox. Click here.

[Goanet] The River Princess
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Enjoy your holiday in Goa. Stay at THE GARCA BRANCA from November to May There is no better, value for money, guest house. Confirm your bookings early or miss-out Visit http://www.garcabranca.com for details/booking/confirmation. The River Princess By John Silva Collaco The River Princess for the last five years, defying logic and reason, sits stoically on the once pristine beach of Candolim, unattended, disintegrating and rotting. In the five years politicians have ascended meteorically and descended into oblivion . The Princess stood firmly, rock solid. The Governments have changed along with ideologies. Flimsy and spineless bureaucrats zoomed in and out , epitomizing sycophancy at its best. Five years of twists and turns and inefficiency in successive governments. And an unexplained inability, of all men in power and authority , to remove the defiant River Princess. The panchayats of Sinquerim, Candolim and Galangute, the kingpins of the coastal belt affected, have silently borne the brunt , remained mute observers, only making ripples now and then with public statements and futile efforts and lack of will to remove the Princess. Sinquerim, Candolim and Calangute , arguably, the most powerful panchayats in Goa, has no guts,firmness and will to dislodge the Princess form its ugly position. And it is not only the Government and ministers to blame. Lack of public participation and 'whose father what goes' attitude among the locals is to be blamed besides the impotent ministers, cowardly bureaucrats and ignorance of ecological damages the Princess has caused is one of the many reason for the lethargic attitude of those in power to remove the eye sore. Undoubtedly, one man ,the owner of the Princess has enough money ,clout and will power to transform elected representatives into slumbering, ineffective and willing stooges. How else can you explain the inability of successive governments of all hue and shades to remove one ugly ship sitting for the last five years on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There is a story making its rounds. Practically every politician has licked form the hands of the ships wealthy owner. This perhaps is the main reason why the Princess remains embedded on the shores of Candolim. Where have all the men of guts, men of principles and morals have gone. Is there no law to facilitate the removable of the Princess or proverbially does the law remain an ass and a stubborn one at that? Unimaginable that no man, no law, no legitimate action under the sun can move the mighty Princess. Apparently, there is a lack of will and the reasons are not difficult to fathom. Big time money, muscle flexing and political inclinations are the factors overriding the removal of the Princess. Time and again tenders are floated and awarded. Nothing happens beyond that. The vicious circle begins again. Once again the tender is awarded. Will the story end there? Or will the Princess reign in defiance? Goans need to rise in unison in situations like these. When the Goa government slumbers and allows Goa to sink to abyssal depths, men of principles, foresight and courage should rise to the occasion. Surely some brilliant and honest Goan lawyer can contribute toward legally and speedily removing the ugly ship. Journalist and writers need to wield their pens and compel lazy sleeping and corrupt politicians to wake up and act before its too late. NGO's and other pressure groups, not politically inclined toads, need to keep the government on its toes. Or else Goa will be gone long before the Princess.
