In the wake of the recent tragic death of a man in Pune, who lost his life while trying to avoid a deep pothole in Cuchelim, AAP Goa on Thursday continued their campaign highlighting the deteriorating condition of roads across the state. The protest reached Margao, where party members staged a rally demanding urgent government action and insisting that the public’s right to safe and proper roads be recognized.
AAP leaders emphasized that more than 50% of roads in Goa are in poor condition, contributing to a significant number of accidents and fatalities. According to party representatives, inadequate maintenance, delayed repair work, and negligence by authorities have left citizens vulnerable, forcing many to take risks while commuting.

During the protest, AAP members highlighted persistent shortcomings in road infrastructure over the past several years. They criticized the PWD engineers and local authorities, holding them responsible for failing to address long-standing issues despite repeated complaints from the public. Party leaders called for accountability and immediate steps to repair and upgrade the roads to prevent further tragedies.
The rally also drew attention to the larger problem of road safety as a basic civic necessity. Protesters underscored that citizens should not have to “beg” for safe roads, pointing out that years of neglect have made commuting hazardous in several parts of Goa.
AAP’s protest in Margao is part of a broader campaign across Goa, aiming to pressure the government into prioritizing road maintenance, implementing effective monitoring, and taking swift action to ensure that citizens can travel safely.
