The NGO GOACAN with senior citizens from all the consumer forums assembled at the main KTC bus stand at Panaji to enlighten the minds of the concerned officials of the government about the need to seriously think about the concerns and issues of the growing number of senior citizens of the State and the tourists that come to the state. Goa is known as a tourist destination as the tourism promoted is for the young who are loaded with money and come to Goa to burn their hard own money or the wealth left by their parents for drinking, drugs, casinos and prostitution and create more of a mess by reckless road driving. At the KTC stand there is no zebra crossing marked for the commuters once they alight from the buses, no proper sign boards or even the outlay plan of the various bus routes to various village destinations. How do you promote tourism or are the senior citizens to be left out from tourism? This is shameful as these senior citizens have worked hard during their youthful years. Is this how our governments repay them despite being taxpayers?
