Goa needs you: THE CHALLENGE FOR A 1000 SIGNATURES

Please sign the following Petition requesting The Hon’ble Minister of State for Environment and Forests (I/C) to maintain the moratorium on issuing further environmental clearances for mining activities in Goa.

THE CHALLENGE FOR A 1000 SIGNATURES
Dear fellow Goans/Indians

We have a challenge in our hands! We need to demonstrate to the government of Goa and Central Government, especially to the Minister of Environment and Forests, Mr Jairam Ramesh, that no matter where in the world we goans are, we care about the issue of mining in Goa and we are determined to bring it under control.

The petition with great difficulty has finally gone past 600 signatures and that is because the website had many technical difficulties from the very beginning and as a result I know many of you tried to sign and failed and we lost many signatures in the process. The technical difficulties have finally been resolved.

This is an appeal to some of you who tried and failed, to please try and sign again and mobilise your family and friends to also sign up this petition. It is urgent and very important!

The challenge is to get at least a 1000 signatures until the end of this month. We cannot wait any longer.

To sign just click on the goanvoice link below and follow the instructions carefully. Takes just a minute or so...!

Thank you for your cooperation!
Carmen Miranda
