MARGAO: Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai on Thursday launched road the widening project and relocation of religious structures project undertaken by the Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation at a cost of Rs five crore.
Work on the two projects began after Sardesai along with others visited the Damodar Temple and the Our Lady of Rosary Church to seek blessings for the success of the projects.
Later briefing the media, Sardesai sought cooperation from the public for the road widening project from Ambaji to Agalli, while promising that the work would be completed before the Lusofonia games. “The road widening work has been a long-standing demand of the people of Fatorda, but nothing was done in this regard since the last 20 years. It was only after I took the Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to the site of the traffic jams nearly two months ago and convinced him of the urgent need for widening of the road that the work has started now”, he said. He said the work includes relocation of the three religious structures, which is being done with the fullest cooperation of the managing committees of these structures.
