Goans suffering from advice of ‘experts’

The report on the deaths during the so-called dark hours at GMC by an expert committee has once again betrayed us.  It means that Goa has no experts but must rely on ‘what is selected’?

The victims could not cry out but they could hear their relatives and themselves feel the life sucked out of them. With this in mind, the expert committee dared to file this kind of report.

Importantly, did the experts check and confirm that all the oxygen used was indeed medical oxygen and not medical air? That post-midnight may have been the ideal time to palm off medical air? With limited cylinders, turnover time would increase: did the supplier, to save time- or money- fill the same with medical air?

Recently, an NIO study showed microplastics in Goa’s PWD tap water: but then said they doubted their own study! How can Goans trust the various environmental clearances thrust upon them?
