Sub: Let Melauli be the torch
bearers of environmental co existence to the whole of Goa.
God abodes in villages which
has given the poor hardworking natives of Guleli village the power to take the
govt. head on when their livelihood was being snatched from them in guised of
development.
IIT is a prestigious
project and certainly will be a feather in the cap for the current govt. but
destroying a forest and the lives of the native residents of the place is not a
wise decision. People have been protesting this authoritarian behavior of the
govt for the last so many months but still the govt is adamant to bulldoze the
protest and put up the IIT by destroying lush green forest along with the lives
of the natives dependants of this
natural habitat.
The Police are duty
bound but were very harsh on the poor
people especially the women folk out to prove their point of co existence with
nature. The enormous support from fellow Goans in spite of Govt dictate of
isolating the village from all sides has galvanized into a mega war like situation the govt won't be able to
face . The MLA has a duty to perform towards these helpless villagers who have
been living there and cultivating the fields for ages they are the true Rakandars
of their forest give them their dues shift the IIT from their village to
farmagudi where there is already a existing
campus or someplace where there is less destruction of nature and importantly
peoples livelihood. A small ray of hope for the villagers since the MLA is with
them battle won only if the project is sifted from there.. Hope better sense
prevail upon the government and peoples will upheld.
