To protest against mining is criminal action, its time now that whole of Goa protests and all the People Goa becomes criminals to effectively deal with most brutal enemy of Goa - the mining industry. One and all must salute all those brave people of Colamb that are in the middle of glorious fight in defence of earth and its water.

Goa Police please stay away from the dictates of the mining industry including Fomentos and all its agents and employees, and owners and their prodigies, please support People in their valiant fight in defence of planet earth that Goa Police too share. In the meanwhile Goa Police has just created freedom fighters from the ordinary people from Colamb by sending Call letters. Thank you.

People of Colamb don't care for the police threats at the behest of mining industry. Today entire Goa is with you'll and all the mining affected people. Just few hours ago Ganv Ghar Rakhon Manch (GGRM) has demanded total close down of all the mines - legal as well as illegal - in Goa for causing Goa's ecocide.
