Protecting land in villages from 'outsider' land sharks

ROBERT CASTELLINO, Calangute/Mumbai | JUNE 02, 2025, 08:10 PM IST

The 'Delhification' of Goa is gathering pace. The people of Goa cannot afford to be complacent any longer. The stakes are very  high and it is easy for outsiders with deep pockets  to move files in the corridors of corruption in the villages. Goan villages  need  strong activism on the lines of  the taxi unions.  Villagers must  unionize themselves into Village Protection Forces, one for each village. Whenever called up to agitate they must turn up in full force to protect their villages from land sharks who are trying to lap up every piece of land they can lay their hands upon. It is now, or never.
