The GOOD, the BAD, the UGLY

TOO BROAD ROADS, GARBAGE DUMPS? NO THANKS, SAYS PARRA VILLAGE


March 2009: It may be interesting and instructive to study the way in which Parra village in Bardez has drawn up its Regional Plan 2021. While most other villages have rejected the copy of the Draft RP2021 of their village
sent to them by the Block Development Office (BDO) because of obvious errors, Parra decided to use the
opportunity given to it by the government for conducting its own exercise instead.

Recently, Parra's 20-member Village Level Committee on Regional Plan 2021 completed its work on the plan. The new Land Use and Development Plan drawn up by it is now put up for display at the Panchayat Ghor (village council office) and other public places for final corrections from the public.

Also accompanying the Land Use Map is a copy of the regulations that are to be read together with the plan and which have been drawn up by the committee after discussions.

We no longer live in a democracy

by Venita Coelho
27 October 2008

We no longer live in a democracy. This is the sad truth I have been forced to look in the eye.

The Moira Gram Sabha was held this morning. At the previous Gram Sabha, I and two other members had not been allowed to speak because we were not on the electoral. Not only that, rowdies had taken over the Sabha and shouted down anyone who tried to speak up. The Moira Action Committee was quite sure it would happen again, so yesterday itself we sent an application to the police for police protection in case the rowdies struck. And I had made sure to go and get myself on the electoral rolls since I had every intention of exercising my basic right to speak up.

Well - the police were there. And this is what happened.
