As more Marina lies are peddled...

 As more Marina lies gets peddled...

There is latest video online from Gomantal TV that peddles more lies regarding attempted Predatory assault on Nauxi village through Marina. Here is the link:

We take this opportunity to expose them one by one and understand their implications. 

1. Col. Milind on behalf of AHOY Marina of Kargwal Constructions from Mumbai asserts that there will be no impact on fishing due to Marina at Nauxim. It appears that he has not read their own EIA Report that notes that this Marina will have Long term negative irreversible impact on Fisheries. Col. Milind has to explain as to how he can go against his own EIA. This means that Col. Milind is intellectually dishonest person and cannot be trusted. 

2. Show anchor Raju states that mining barges has no negative impact on rivers. He has ignored Goa University Marine Sceince department study that proved how Zuari river in Goa is polluted due to mining. Further Raju Nayak willfully ignored first meeting minutes of Goa State Pollution Control Board that has clearly recorded damage being inflicted on Goa's rivers due to mining transportation and need to create public awareness about the same.

3. If Marina is to be safeguarding fishing canoes then why there is protection provided in the lease deed of 12 October 2010 itself where is safeguards are provided to right of passage of the barges?

4. If Marina promises jobs to locals then there needs to be prior auditing of how Manu jobs locals were given at Goa Medical College at Bambolim. If projects were for jobs to locals of Nauxim then daily five kadambas would have not transported workers from Valpoi. Similar auditing is required of Goa University too that took over land of local people.

5. Raju Nayak tom-toms about nautical tourism for which Marina is sought ro be pushed on Nauxim. There is already five star tourism in Goa and there is acute labour exploitation through rampant contract system. He is quite about it.

6. The entire edifice of Marina led aggression is as terrible in its consequence as Mopa Airport for people as well as ecology. It is form of mass anhilition of people's livelihoods and ecological sustainability that needs to be resisted and opposed.

7. St. Andre MLA Viresh Borkar opposed Marina at Nauxim as it will destroy fishing based livelihoods. This is a good sign and his defence needs further upgradation.

8. One thing that remained without reference is that local people has not proposed Marina as form of development. It has been imposed from outside. This is a consequence of Goa being annexed through conquest in 1961 as underlined by Supreme Court of India in Gosalia case. Nauxim is a first hand experience of what the conquest mean.

9. People of Goa doesn't have any option but to oppose the projects that are imposed from outside for that's the way of asserting freedom. People like the TV anchor and the Project Proponent has deformed understanding of communities. For these two guys all that matters is money, capital, profit. People and ecology are merely fodders for their pervert agenda.

10. Frustration of Col. Milind got revealed when he refered to opposition to IIT in Goa. He went bankrupt on marina therefore got IIT on the agenda. Debate was not out IIT Col. Milind breached in his conduct.

11. Political and economic ties of Gomantak owners in Mumbai needs to be examined to identify their links with Kargwal Constructions Private Limited.
