Team Herald
PANJIM: The officials of the Goa Human Rights Commission (GHRC) led by its Secretary Margaret Fernandes and Police Inspector Manoj Mardolkar inspected the roads in Ribandar, on Monday.
Deputy Collector Sagar Gaude, Advocate Aires Rodrigues, who had approached the Commission accusing that incomplete works have largely affected the residents living in the area, along with local Corporator Rupesh Harlankar and officials of the Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Limited (IPSCDL) also accompanied the team.
The report of the inspection, which comes following directions from GHRC acting chairman A D Salkar, will be submitted to the commission within a week.
Rodrigues had lodged a complaint alleging that human rights of the residents of Ribandar were grossly violated by the rank inaction of the authorities to the alarming state of the Ribandar roads, which were recklessly dug up in May by the IPSCDL.
He also submitted that had there been proper co-ordination between the IPSCDL, PWD and BSNL, the inconvenience caused to the residents of Ribandar, who were left without water supply and telephone service for almost a month, could have been avoided.
Rodrigues pointed out that restoration work of the dug up roads has not been done properly. The Commission will hear the matter next on July 5.
