*http://www.navhindtimes.in/opinion/letters-editors* *Preserve Socio-Cultural Identity of Goa *HEAVY migration of people from all over India pose threat to the tranquil socio-cultural set-up of Goa. If these people come and settle in Goa with an aim to maintain the cultural sanctity of our state, then of course we Goans would have no issues. However, many of them indulge in anti-social and illegal activities which have started distorting and disturbing the socio-cultural decorum of traditional Goa. Present politicians of Congress under the garb of secularism have started establishing illegal colonies/hutments of migrant labourers with a view to create vote banks. Moreover, the government has no proper planning and infrastructure such as roads, water, electricity, garbage disposal, sewage, health and education facilities are not in proportion to the rising population, neither is it up to quality. In view of the above grave situation, I appeal to the local Goan community to vote for honest, law-abiding, non-corrupt politicians who can restore law and order in Goa, bring corrupt government servants to book and preserve the environment, culture and tranquil social atmosphere of Golden Goa.
