Pernem taluka is now repeatedly in the news and not for good reasons, but for its rapid destruction and losing its identity. I recall when the Mopa airport plans had started, it was mostly the South Goans who were protesting and most North Goans including people from Pernem declined support to South Goans' protest with scepticism; where South Goan activists amongst their grievances indicated that North Goa particularly Pernem, would face massive destruction as politicians had deceitfully planned the project, with the particular agenda to make massive real estate profits from the destruction of Pernem Taluka. The point is that many Goan politicians have used the divisive nature of Goans to pursue their destructive agenda and are continuing to do so. Even at this time, most Goans do not support fellow Goans in genuine protests against a corrupt government, for example on the coal hub corridor/double tracking, etc. In conclusion the threat is that Goa will be destroyed, unless Goans irrespective of caste and religion unite against the corrupt politicians (who are united irrespective of caste/religion in their quest for illegitimate wealth).
