Activists link poor air quality to land sales…… - The Goan Everyday - November 29, 2025. Poor air quality is what we get when we pour more and more concrete into the ground. Yes, that’s the reality. Goa is facing a serious situation with the air quality worsening on account of urbanisation, as Dr Jorson says.

At the moment, redevelopment projects are being sanctioned left, right and centre instead of in a phased manner. It seems we are on the road to suicide, with our lungs getting weaker and the steady destruction of forest cover.
