[Goanet] *Subject: Anti-Goan Chicalim VP defends mega project at Alto-Dabolim*
Dear Arwin, You've said this very well. The damage that is being done by mega projects are going to destroy all the Goan villages and the Goan way of life and there will be no turning back. Unfortunately we know who are the people supporting and sanctioning these anti-people and anti-Goan projects. They do it after receiving massive kick-backs and bribes and that's why these politicans and their supporters at the Panchayat level are backing these anti-Goan projects and betraying us Goans. They don't even care as they are blinded by their insatiable greed. It's time for us to speak out against these project and preserve our Goan villages as the Government and these politicians are ready to break each and every rule in the book. Is there any group or Organization on this forum that will help to rally and support our Goan villages and our Goan brothers and sisters? Intimidation and harrassment has become the order of the day to silence the voice of the Goan people. Our Goan people should form a unified effort to stand up and have their voices be heard. Just like Sebastian Rodrigues through GAKUVED and his support for anti-mining efforts we need to have a unified effort for Goans in all villages of Goa to stand up against this tyranny and greed and the destruction of our Goan villages brought about by these mega-projects. *Subject: Anti-Goan Chicalim VP defends mega project at Alto-Dabolim* As reported recently in the press, the Chicalim VP is defending the mega project at Alto-Dabolim. Goans must take strong objections and oppose the Anti-Goan Chicalim VP. The GBA & the Chicalim Village Action Committee (CVAC) needs our support/voice, to stop another monstrosity coming up in Goa. It is surely disturbing to note that Sarpanch, The Former Sarpanch and their corrupt colleagues are ignorant of the negative effects of these approx 600 residential units, on the area!! They claim that people opposing the project are fighting for their self interests; I am sure that many Goans will agree with me when I say that, actually these Anti-Goans themselves. Have bigger financial/commercial stakes in supporting this destructive project!! The Sarpanch claims that it is for the betterment of the village; I would really like to question how? Surely the Sarpanch should know by now, with so much awareness on the issue; that mega-projects like the one, he is supporting will make the village and its residents a non-entity soon!! Donating a garbage truck and vested promises of development are not arguments for betterment of a village!!

It often happens that the guy that want to reach you home safely is the guy that will rape/rob/kill you. What support? -Money to fight long litigation battles? -Make people sink their differences and come together for a cause? -What makes you sure that if you stop one, another will not come up so that you are drained of all fight? Don't you think that the strike must be at the root cause of all this evil? Don't you think that the rules of play must be changed at legislating level? Do you ever hope to have this achieved with the current players in play? Do you know, come 2012 or earlier, when it is election time, who will win and who will form the gorment? Don't you know that in this win, your bonafide goan vote will not count but that of the migrant will count? You asked the million dollar question above, and, if you have not realised it, the answer is looking you in the face. It is said that one must first die to go to heaven. Forget about dying, or even going to heaven, do we Goans want to change our mindset about Delhi-Nagpur-Maharashtra High Commands?
