There won't be much of Goa left for future generations

Every inch of Goa's land is getting concretised by unscrupulous authorities and land owners who are out to destroy these sensitive zones which were earmarked in the Regional Plan 2021 as no-development zones. eg forests, fields, hills/slopes near water bodies. all these plans are put into the dustbins for such ruthless developers who are out to finish Goa. There is so much development in the fields in Guirim village and now the new sewerage plant is coming up planned by the government agency. These fields get waterlogged every monsoon and where will the rain/flood water go now. We need to plan for another disaster soon. If we allow concrete structures in the fields, the future generation will continue to depend on food grains from neighbouring states. The TCP has given licenses to developers to construct on the slopes of the hills in Porvorim and Siolim. Let's hope better sense will prevail with our Ministers incharge of their portfolios. Is this the Goa we are going to give to our next generation or we are all out to sell Goa to people from other States?
