The road to hell

 The  newly resurfaced stretch of  road  at Navelim , close to bypass is in
dangerous , pathetic  condition. RAMESH Raut of  365 Chanel deserves kudos.
for visually  highlighting it.The politician  is in Kumbakaran  mode',
akin to proverbial  ostrich burying its head in the sand .Of course the
limit of constituency  is in the  wrong direction,  except for election
campaigns  , as it is in the wrong direction  .Citizens pay road tax  and
that they are forced to knock the doors of the court is unwarranted.
What is NHA and PWD and Minister  doing?

Road development is a cash cow   to earn fixed percentages for many   for
dubious reasons ,even inflating tenders. .The bidder has to first pay to
others professional contractors  to withdraw ,whose profession is only to
bid for  tenders , . Percentages   are   paid even before work order is
issued.It takes years to settle the bills.Then  grease money  is paid to
release dues

vehicles.Accidents
are waiting to happen  due to negligence and apathy.The temporary  patch

[Goanet] The Road to Hell Will Pass Through Moira and Aldona

2015-12-26 Thread augusto pinto
It struck me that the "development" that is going on around involving the
slaughter of the age old trees by the Moira club ground.had been stuck in
the RP 2021 as a kindred soul reminded me of late.

Since this club ground is Nobody's property, Everybody felt sorry but only
Nobody wanted to raise a finger about it and Everybody kept quiet.

Everyone is wondering about what will happen to the Pais houses' compound
walls and the well on the opposite side. Nobody will be surprised if they
are demolished or buried as the case may be.

Once that is done the road apparently goes to around the Tollear area of
Aldona and takes a detour through the fields so as to link up to the
Corjuem bridge. I had noticed that the work there had already begun once
before and thought it was some private development, but now perhaps it is
not so and is part of the highway which apparently is being pushed from
Delhi through the NHAI.

Now why are these roads being developed so sweetly for the Moira and Aldona
people? Moira and Aldona people = my fart!! The whole idea if I remember
correctly is to make a shortcut for the mining trucks that will be coming
from the Bicholim area through the Poira bridge.

Then see what the "developmental mining trucks" will do to our lives as the
traffic starts zooming past our homes and your vehicles as they get onto
the main road. OK right now there is a lull in mining and the price of the
ore internationally but for how long will this slump last?

I write this with a sense of despair as I have very little faith in the
people of Moira or Aldona to do anything to protect themselves from the
coming onslaught. In fact I'd be surprised if the honorable folks don't wag
their tongues at me to preach the virtues of "development".

BTW if there is anything factually or otherwise wrong about what I've
written above please do take the trouble to correct me.
