Exert political pressure to save the axe in Mollem

The valiant deeds of the farmers of Shel-Melauli have to be emulated by the residents of Mollem neighbourhood so that the three linear infra projects are shelved once and for all. 

The best way that this can be achieved is to exert maximum pressure on the MLAs of the Mollem areas by threatening to dethrone them from being the elected if they fail to listen to the people. Shun them and refuse to cooperate with them until the three linear projects are dropped so as to save the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary and the Mollem National Park. 

In particular as far the coal is concerned, the people of the port city of Vasco should exert pressure on their MLA until MPT stops handling coal, which is causing immense environmental and health problems to the people of the area. 

In similar fashion, coal transportation via Mollem should at all costs be opposed as this will destroy the western Ghats. 

Political leaders who have at heart the preservation of Goa's greenery should be encouraged and supported at all costs. Environmentally conscious Goans should relentlessly pressurize the elected representatives to bow down to the will of the people.
