VASCO: In response to the tragic drowning of two students last year, Cortalim MLA Anton Vas, along with government officials, conducted a joint inspection of the quarry on the Cansaulim-Cuelim road on Friday and instructed that it be barricaded.
During the inspection, officials noted that safety measures had been implemented. A portion of the quarry was landfilled, and effective drainage systems were established to prevent water accumulation, to reduce the risk of drowning.
