PANJIM: The so called Smart City work kept the capital city untidy as dust filled the air on account of the roads dug across the Panjim city. O Heraldo brought out the hardships faced by people while negotiating the pothole-ridden roads for their daily commuting.
Be it the roads in St Inez or in the city, the story was the same as various roads on multiple stretches were dug. Business communities in the city were perturbed with the continuous work.
They stared at the roads, hoping customers would visit them by climbing up and down the huge heaps of mud or stone chips. Irked over the pathetic condition of roads, the shopkeeper in the city market blamed the elected representatives and the government for the mess.
Panjikars faced a tough time while trying to catch a glimpse of the Narkasur effigies put up by the youth in and around the capital city. As usual, the authorities maintained stoic silence on the timeline of the projects which appeared to be work in progress forever.
