People had high expectations when new faces were elected at the council elections but the usual game of passing the buck has started with the Councillors blaming the technical dept and vice versa and this blame game will go on for the remaining four years. The public were promised good roads, that parking problems would be solved and garbage issues would be addressed but nothing seems to be happening. Relocation of the city petrol pumps lies in cold storage, multi-level parking remains only on paper with motorists having to take circles around the city to find a parking slot without being hounded by the camera happy traffic police.
Margao’s topography has remained the same for the last 50 years or so except for some concrete jungles coming up. The condition of the new market remains the same, except for the passages getting narrower. The road around the municipal garden after the JICA works is crying for attention.
