“Patto-Panjim sewage system has collapsed as it is overflowing in the middle of the road, even after repairing the chamber by spending lakhs of rupees. Recently a new sewerage treatment plant was inaugurated here spending more than Rs 8 crore. Where is the money going?” former Mayor and senior-most councillor Surendra Furtado asked.

Locals have urged the authorities concerned to carry out repair work at the earliest so as to prevent outbreak of vector-borne diseases in the area.
