Goa’s entire Coastal belt has been so inundated with unplanned and haphazard rampant construction that it all requires to take the much required very long break from any further concrete. The Candolim- Calangute stretch in particular has reached a point of saturation and can take no more.
We should commend the Calangute MLA Michael Lobo for having very strongly opposed the devious and foul move of the Government to notify a whopping 28,000 sq mts of land in Baga as an Investment Promotion Area.
The message should ring out loud and clear to the now snoozing Manohar Parrikar government that enough is enough. Any open land available in the coastal belt should be now for Parking lots to accommodate the mounting number of vehicles and for other basic infrastructure facilities for the benefit of the public. It has to be also ensured that there is no further environmental degradation lest we bear the brunt of nature’s fury.
