Govt must heed to the voice of people


Any project that government approves has to be for the common wellbeing of the citizens.

This calls for a concerted, courageous and persevering effort on part of all Goans to unitedly thwart such nefarious designs of people with vested interests and hidden agenda.

Hence, we all need to be ultra-vigilant incessantly to see that our government undertakes only those projects which serve the greatest good of the greatest number and not just promotes the interests and well-being of a few superfluous rich corporates and persons.
