It was to some extent a Black Thursday at GMC, Bambolim. Based on an old order of 2018, this government took the heartless action of razing down all establishments and minor stalls standing in front of GMC on comunidade land. Overnight these poor traders were inflicted a deadly blow.
Around 10,000 jobs whether direct or indirect operating in this locality were destroyed..No previous rehabilitation programme was in motion to provide an alternative site for these fellow citizens to conduct their businesses. The government's contention was that local Goans were subletting their business to non-Goans which cannot be allowed. When the economy is in doldrums , national GDP in last quarter was negative (-7.3%) steps should have been taken to avoid such destruction of jobs and businesses. These affected people were conducting their businesses for decades . Generating GDP through unorganized sector helps alleviate the overall statistics of the nation which should have been nurtured and not destroyed .I request the various governmental organizations to lend a helping hand to these displaced folk by rehabilitating them and helping them run their businesses at the earliest..
