One more sad day for Goa: Goa Police Protection for mining company

Today is another sad day for Goa. Sesa Goa mining company has been given Police protection to carry on with mining activity in Advalpal village. Protection is in the wake of stiff opposition from the Advalpal villagers in this village of North Goa's Bicholim Taluka.

Mining is ruing Goa's villages and it is shame that Goa Police is providing protection to this industry that is threatening to transform Goa into a desert by drying up its water bodies. And all this is possible due to huge amounts of donations to ruling and opposition political parties in Goa. Goa, its environment - water bodies and land is being slaughtered to benefit British Vedanta owned Sesa Goa. Once India was ruled by another British company known as East India Company and people of India revolted against it. Today we have another british company in league with several Indian companies exploiting this State of Goa on the west coast of India. And it has our Goa Police as its loyal ally. Disgusting state of affairs indeed!
