Who is on this GBA panel then?

SOUL CURRY LETTER Published in Gomantak Times,11/4/2003 The news about the formation of a Technical Committee by the GBA to formulate the guidelines for the rectification of the RP-2021offers perfect consolation and entertainment for a beleagured Goan community Who is appointed on this committee remains a mystery just like in the case of many announcements of the Parivartan Government. We only hope there is some ethical criteria for the choice of these technical persons. or else it may become a case of the perpetrator of a crime also becoming the policeman. The irony of the situation is that the GBA seems to have surrendered to the Government and therefore endorses the RP-2021 process minus some aberrations, under an obsolete TCP Act which does not recognise the constitutional status of the Panchayats and Municpalities in the planning and implementation processes. The proactive stance of the GBA perhaps shows that the sale of Goa and Goans is far from over. -Soter D'souza
