GRAM SABHAS TAKE ON BUILDERS For Goa, April 27 was indeed a very big day,
At least six Gram Panchayats had their say About nefarious builders who indulged in open pillage, In the name of development of their village - One hopes that more villages will now join this fray. It is time outsiders realise that when aroused, Goans can agitate for causes they've espoused, Give up their attitude of *sucegad* Fight long and hard And once up in arms, their anger cannot be doused. Now it is time to sustain this growing movement, See that it spreads for all-round improvement, Takes up other issues that matter, And dreams of builders and the like shatter When people en masse their anger vent.
