The elevated corridor has been planned to solve Goa’s traffic woes for the next 25 years, but what about the existing traffic problems? Many commuters traveling on the Mapusa-Panaji highway are facing immense inconvenience due to the ongoing construction work. Earlier, it was in the South due to the new Zuari bridge, and now it’s in the North. It seems like these projects are never-ending, and the public is destined to suffer indefinitely.
The elevated corridor’s pillars near Holy Family Church have created hazardous conditions for churchgoers, who are forced to navigate through muck and slippery roads. Accidents have become a routine occurrence at this spot. The contractors are negligent and appear to have no concern for public safety—or is it that no one even knows if the contractor is present at the site to witness the suffering of the people?

After all, these projects are being executed using taxpayers’ money, the very same public that is now subjected to undue suffering.
Can the contractor find a solution to this slippery mess near Holy Family Church?
