Illegalities and crime can be tackled in Goa if the Goa Government has really a serious intention to address the same. For instance, many Goan residents do not report various illegalities like for example land/field filling, hill cutting, illegal settlements, sound/air/water pollution etc or for that matter criminal activities like prostitution, drugs menace, gang fights etc as the complainant needs to give his/her name and the fear in corrupt Goa government is that the complainant can be harassed, threatened etc So hence many just keep quiet!
I have been in foreign (progressive) countries including democratic ones where there is a hotline for anonymous reporting and status of the action of these complaints is made transparent to the public after a period of time (all the time the complainant kept anonymous and the complainant can even follow up on the hotline using a code for reference!)
Can the Goa government look at setting up this anonymous hotline which I am certain will go a long way to address the illegalities/crime in the state!
