Coconut trees have been transplanted on the Madel wholesale area from road widening areas of Fatorda at the height of coconut declassification as grass. But these coconut trees seem to have been left abandoned and condemned to die an untimely death due to lack of rehabilitation after the transplants.
A look at the dying and lifeless coconut trees demonstrates human apathy and opportunism when it comes to the Game of Thrones in Goan politics. While huge costs were incurred in the transplant operation by employing heavy machinery no after care seems to have been initiated to make the trees survive in the scorching heat. Sadly, in today’s competitive politics even trees, plants and animals are not spared from political exploitation.
