Dear Deepesh Naik,

You are wearing T-shirt "Save Goa Environment" and talking supporting mining? Take a tour to note the way mining has destroyed Goa's environment for more than half century. You can meet Ramesh Gauns, Rama Velip, Ravindra Velip, Adv. John Fernandes, Shamsunder Naik, Gurudas Gadekar, Sharmila Naik, Dument D'souza, Hanuman Parab, Ulhas Gaonkar to know more. They reside in Goa's mining belt.

Do you know how mining has disrupted Goa ground water, silted rivers, destroyed agriculture? Go to Sirgao and see for yourself. Do you know how much is water requirement for washing of the ore? Kudne mining EIA report notes that it will require 95,000 litres of water every day. From where this water will come? Check water requirement for all the several mineral blocks auctioned so far and you will get the picture. Have you ever read even single Mining EIA report? I am asking you this so that you don't take environmental destruction caused by mining in as casual manner as you did on this video. Do you know how many agricultural jobs are destroyed by mining over past half century?

Please don't make such statements on mining by wearing T-shirt claiming to save Goa Environment. It's sheer hypocrisy. We have no objections on what you spoke on other topics regarding land conversions etc.

Objection is only relating to your views on mining.
