Safety Concerns Raised Over Missing Parapet on MDR-10 Road Near Siolim’s Bamon Vaddo
Published on

The recent hotmixing of the MDR-10 road near Bamon Vaddo, Siolim, has

certainly improved driving conditions. However, an important safety measure seems to have been

overlooked. The parapet of the culvert near Lobo’s house, adjacent to the

tender coconut seller, has not been reconstructed. This missing barrier

poses a serious risk to motorists, especially two-wheeler riders, as there is nothing preventing them from accidentally veering off into the storm water drain below.

To ensure the safety

of road users, I urge the authorities to immediately address this issue by

constructing a proper parapet or installing a road crash barrier. Additionally, cat blinkers should be

fixed along the road, and clear road markings must be extended up to

the junction near St.

Anthony’s Church. These measures will go a long way in preventing

accidents and ensuring safer travel for all.

I hope the concerned

authorities take swift

action at the earliest.
