Goa’s deplorable road conditions

The road network throughout the state is in a pitiable condition with the lame reason of the rains playing spoilsport not holding much water.

 This  deplorable  conditions  of  roads is   primarily   due  to  lack  of  proper   supervision during   construction/hot mixing,  usage  of   substandard  material  by  contractors  to  compensate  for  the   kickbacks  they  pay  the  higher  authorities  and   as   a  result  compromising  on  quality.
The  vehicle  owners,  who  have  to  endure   back   rattling   drives  and  damage  to  their  vehicles,  expect a  decent  motorable  road  to  drive/ride  on  after  paying high  road  taxes. 
Many   motorists/riders   have  lost  their  life  or  are  maimed  due  to  these  bad   conditions. The  PWD/GSIDC  should  take  a  leaf  out  of  the  B.R.O (Border Roads Organization’s)  book   which   built  the  Verna  to  Varnapuri  junction  road   as  an  example  of  good  workmanship  and  engineering  skills.  This road is  about  fifteen  years  old  and  has  stood  the  test  of  time  and the  monsoons.
