This month's Goanet operations sponsored by an Anonymous Donor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> It is worth double checking if it wasn't the BJP Govt under Mr. >> Parrikar which drew up the plans and went ahead with phase 1 i.e. >> the IFFI complex and >>the multiplex at the heritage Goa Medical >> College site. >> I might add here that much of what is left, is not heritage. The >> heritage part has >> already been morphed. Having lived all my life in that area I have double checked and confirmed that what was "destroyed" under Parrikar's rule was, 1. The ugliest building in Panjim, the old GMC Resident Doctors Hostel. 2. The old morgue and other very ugly buildings of no heritage nor aesthetic value. The end result was a wonderfully restored original building and chapel, pleasant landscaping and a well designed multiplex that takes nothing away from the grandeur of the original GMC. This area was previously filthy, desolate(since the shifting of the GMC to Bambolim) and rat infested. I'm not sure what Jose is trying to say here. Sunith -- Sunith D Velho [EMAIL PROTECTED]
