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.

In the wake of Goa s 60 th liberation day the free Goan people’s joy was abruptly disturbed by the news of scores of Goan youth being detained at various places across Goa. Capt. and a priest being arrested under preventive  arrest. Peacefully singing protesters at the panjim church being dragged to the police bus a mother separated from her crying son by the police for reasons best known to their bosses. This liberation day was supposed to be people oriented but looked to be some private political party’s function where Goans were not allowed to enter the capital city. Goan Youth of today is well educated and knowledgeable than those sitting on the chair of power. They no longer can be amused by your free laptop or free tab offers they are out to protect Mother Earth from destruction.More power to them and every Goan who has Goa at his heart is grateful for their efforts and mental agony they suffered on the eve of our liberation day. Our ancestors fought for our liberty  but this 19 th December the Goans were given a taste of the wicked Salazar medicine. The police govt officials were only following orders but they too know that whatever is going on in Goa these days will have a adverse effect on the future Goan generations which the govt is adamant to bulldoze for profits at the cost of our children.
