Re: [saligaonet] Press Conference On Salmona Spring

[Zelma G DeSouza]

This is good to read. We were upset to read that article from the Navhind times posted a couple of days ago.

The need of the hour is really unity to solve this issue, more than anything else.

Hope the press conference went well.   I just think the more exposure the issue has, would be better as this would in a way put pressure

on those holding the reigns of power to do something about it.
