GMAS to tourists: "Leave Goa by Dec 27"

capt_mahajan · Dec 29th, 2007, 20:26

The agitation has been called off/postponed (not sure which) according to TV reports.

There has been almost nothing in the newspapers about this, anyway, for the last day or two.

In Navhind Times there´s an article from Dec 28 saying it´s absolutely safe to travel Goa.

That's true, Goa govt. has asked the central govt. to cancel all SEZ's in the state. But that is not the end of the story. Cipla who has already invested around Rs. 200 crore would be fighting till the end either to complete the SEZ or to get compensation from the govt.

Fizzy 2, I agree with your posting. I almost wish that no more tourists could go to Goa ( after I get there of course and can't fly back) as that seems to be what is driving all the building work. I have been visiting for past 10 years and have seen the destruction in places. Good infrastructure should be Govt priority for the locals not allowing yet more appts to be built which put a strain on water resources etc.

hey I just came back from goa and there was no problem at all. I was reading the newspaper in Goa on 1st morning and I believe all the Sez are going to be scrapped.
Thank is real good news :-)

well.... most middle class indian can afford a full time house cleaner and a gardner...... show me one in the 'Developed countries'

I live in london work in an investment bank and yet can't afford the luxuries i was brought up in during my childhood in India. If your was a just a sarcastic joke then ignore my post, but if your was a serious post, it wasn't in good sport

capt_mahajan · Jan 3rd, 2008, 22:49

News...

The Central government has refused to de-notify at least 3 SEZ's, which means that at least these 3 are still 'on'.

Irony may pass by you. I think you read this from your class background rather than from my text. My deep regrets that you can't get servants, etc. in London.

Nick-H · Jan 4th, 2008, 00:49

Have you spoken to the UK government about making your house into a SEZ?

There is a difference between slaves and house help ( i find the word servant derogatory ) ....... i am yet to understand your resoning for keeping Indians poor .....

York Stiller · Jan 4th, 2008, 01:19

Oh, do we have the classic class struggle here? Fact is though, that India itself and it´s governments have kept Indians poor for decades. The awakening is steadily going on with open end.
