Seven protestors arrested in Colamb

The triangular nexus between mining companies, Contractors and Goa Police is at work again in Colamb, Sanguem. Today afternoon seven people were arrested and till 8.20 pm they were not given bail. The key seven people in the movement against mining industry in Colamb have been arrested in a desperate bid to subdue the movement. The people includes Motesh Antao, Egyps D'Souza, Dument D'Souza, Shanto Velip, Rama Velip, Telu Dias and Xavier Fernandes.

It is indeed one of the biggest tragedy in post-liberation Goa that minng companies has been granted free hand to dismemeber this state through mining industry. Instead of Putting officials and managing director of the mining companies like Fomentos behind bars for ecological genocide of Peoples' livelihood, the State in Goa has allowed them to thrive in Goa's destruction even more drying up every possible water source every day.

Goa's rulers today are all out to finish people of Goa - lock, stock and barrel - and only mass revolt at this stage will change the tide.

Anyway keep writing and communicating to Chief Minister of Goa Digambar Kamat. Please e-mail him at cm.goa@nic.in and let your message put some good sense in his decision making abilities. You can even speak to him at his cell phone 09822129339. You may even wake him at night by calling him at his house in Margao 0832-2730432 or if is sleeping at his official residence you may call him at Altinho residence 0832-2224170, 0832-2224995. You may also fax him your advance condolence message on oncoming death of Goa because of mining.
