The Airport Road between Chicalim circle and Airport has always been the pride of Vasco.
Since CHOGM way back in the eighties it had been the most well-maintained and well-lit road. Citizens from around this area and elsewhere would use it for morning and evening walks. Tourists arriving at the airport and proceeding further would have a good first impression of Goa.
But for the past few years the airport road has become a death trap. The left side of the road from Chicalim Circle to Airport was dug open for laying cables and since then the condition of the road has been neglected.
Many concerned citizens have written about it but it has fallen on deaf ears.
At the Regina Mundi School road intersection a huge pit has been kept open for more than a year. Are we waiting for a tragic accident to wake us up? Is it not the right of the tax payers for safe and proper roads? Do not the vehicle owners pay road tax?
The bad condition of the road increases the cost of maintenance of the vehicle. Will the citizens have to protest march to make authorities fulfill their responsibility?
It has been years now since the cable has been laid but there is still no sign of it being repaired. When will authorities take responsibility seriously?
