The four-day Assembly session of Goa concluded with heated arguments on Mhadei issue. The river issue is now 32 years old. Today the river water is main for the survival of people in the areas along with flora and fauna. The Assembly session also appointed house committee on Mhadei issue headed by WRD Minister Subhash shirodkar and other members of the house including opposition party leaders.
For Karnataka, it is a political issue to win elections but for Goa it is question of life of future generations. The CM also presented book before the House on Mhadei written by a school teacher which describes on actions and struggle on protecting the river from the day one.
The government also demanded Centre to form central management committee office in Goa which will give clear idea of status on the river. Ultimately, it’s the unity of people and Goan leaders which will help to save river and diversion to the neighbouring state. Today, we need to keep aside political differences and come together to save the river and preserve the Goan identity.
