According to the complaint, the absence of adequate safety infrastructure at the newly built culvert directly contributed to the tragic accident, raising serious concerns about public safety and accountability in the execution of infrastructure projects.
The complainant has urged the Panjim Police to register a First Information Report (FIR) against the officials responsible and conduct a thorough investigation into the alleged negligence and omission of duty.
The incident has reignited concerns over road safety standards and the need for government agencies to ensure that newly completed public works are equipped with proper warning systems before being opened to commuters.
