If you had three wishes for Goa this Diwali, what would they be?

Goa has gone through much this year. First the virus, then the surreptitious moves by the government to move controversial projects under the cover of the lockdown. The festival season always brings hope and everyone will wish the very best for the state. Café spoke to achievers in the state as to what three wishes they would like Goa to receive in this festival season. The wish that Goans want the most is for Goa to protect its environment so that Goa remains Goa

colleges

trees, mountains, fields and beaches be an example for the world to follow and
I would like to give my Goa lots of love

May the fabric of
unity be impeccable

Unity, that has stood the test of time, stay impeccable.

Diwali, spread warmth and hope for the people of Goa, especially in these
difficult times
