Pernem Taximen agitation to agitate against government or Tourists?
Blocking the roads to inconvenience the tourists who could miss their flights is not common-sense. Do not make a hole in the vessel, from which you drink water.
People who believe, they have been dis-franchised of their genuine rights are going to protest, disfranchising common citizens, of their right to travel and move?
The deadline given by the Pernem Taximen association to the Government of Goa, for notifying the Taxi Stand has passed today at 1300 hrs.
They had said, that, they would block the roads towards Mopa International Airport.
Whether it is a sensible decision to block the roads and inconvenience thousands of tourists (Upwards of 5,000 daily) is no one’s brainer.
Pernem taximen, forget that, People arriving in #Goa have an option, ie Dabolim Airport or GOI.
While, Flights are booked in advance, and last minute cancellations could not be done, if the approach road is blocked, it would bring a lot of convenience to passengers who have to leave Goa, as they would miss their flights.
After such an experience, would they intend to land back again at Mopa, is anybody’s guess.
While, this would tarnish, Goa’s name; more importantly, it shall make the tourist desist from arriving at Mopa International Airport.
Already, the experience of tourists, is anything, that can be called satisfying.
Urging other taximen to join them, and refuse to ply taxi, is still a means to protest, but blocking the road for a fellow citizen, to get one’s wishes, is something, which is very stupid.
When failing to convince the government of their legitimate demand, to resorting to Blackmail and again bringing disrepute to Goa, is not the way to go forward for the Pernem Taximen.
While the government has placed Section 144 (Unlawful assembly, of people more than 4), it is to be seen, whether that’s the only way, to bring some kind of normalcy to the situation?
When the Government does not listen to you, that does not mean, you also become as insensitive, in order to grind your axe. Then what is the difference from Pednekars and Government of Goa?
