The kabrastan row is still going on. The MMC is charged with providing land to the Muslim community for the kabrastan. The Muslim community has grown in leaps. The MMC has no land of its own. The MMC must now acquire this land from others. The MMC is targeting only the local Goan and the Comunidade. Why is it sacrosanct that only land from the Goan must be acquired? Why not from the new landowners, i.e. politicians, real estates, Muslims who have so many illegal scrap yards which are monopolised by them; illegal and legal. These scrapyards create many problems for locals including deaths aside from being eyesores but continue to proliferate. In a social community all must equally contribute to land for public uses. I suggest that all the involved come together and identify plots from their community first: after all the MMC will compensate for the same. Politicians must not shy away from offering their land as well. Land which has at any time been used for illegal activities or which is creating nuisance to the general public must top the list.
