I want to bring to the attention of the government the pathetic state of the road passing near former chief minister late Dr Wilfred D’Souza’s house in Saligao. I travel daily on this road to go to Panjim.
This road has not been attended to for the last five years. It is full of potholes. The suspensions of my new car got ruined in only two years.
Recently, somebody filled mud in two big potholes but it got washed off with the rains. It is also dangerous for two wheelers plying on this road. Now, the government will come begging once more for our votes. I paid a huge sum of money as road tax, when I bought the car three years ago. In addition, I also pay income tax every year. It is therefore our right to have good roads.
The CHOGM Road also needs repairs. Now, the tourist season will start and tourists travel by these roads to the various hotels and beaches.
Local MLA Jayesh Salgaonkar, Panchayat and PWD did nothing for the Saligao road for five years. They have no money to hot-mix this bumpy road. I hope the Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant will give instructions to repair this road at the earliest.
