We don't need coal, double-tracking, river nationalisation in State of Goa

Every Goan is shouting against coal transportation in Goa. The 12 million tonness being transported presently is already choking Goa to near-death. The devastation of water bodies, khazan lands, rivers, agricultural lands have already begun in Chandor and Guirdolim due to the ongoing construction of coal corridor of the Railways. The double tracking project is bound to annihilate the Western Ghats and the beauty of Dudhsagar.

Though the politicians have tried their best to hide the truth from us, the people have used RTI tool to collect information and bring about awareness. 

Don’t forget our Goa will disappear from the map, if coal corridor is made a reality. We don't need coal in Goa. Let's safeguard Goa for our future generations.
