The people keep living under stress and tension whilst those responsible carry on with impunity. Goa has dangerously become one of the most landslide prone coastal states in India due to rapid urban expansion. This is scientifically confirmed by a study by the ICAR central institute based in Old Goa. Their findings were published in January 2025 using geospatial techniques and AI, so I am not making false accusations. There are perennial monsoon woes of flooding and road accidents, some of which I have been witness to, due to potholes, stray cattle, careless construction material or pavement slabs that give way etc. causing grave trauma and injuries and even death which families have to suffer with no accountability from the authorities responsible. It appears the casino industry and land mafia with powerful builder lobbies have been allowed to take over. It is all very well to plan moon landings, needing doles to make people dependent on government to get elected and control citizens' lives without prioritizing their basics like jobs, increasing prices, garbage clearance, stopping free water scheme instead of punishing those misusing it, generally not consulting the citizens/stakeholders first before decision-making.
