MARGAO: Goa Forward Party Chief Vijai Sardesai on Tuesday inaugurated the hot-mixing work for all the internal roads in Ward No.1 of Mungul and Madel area in Fatorda Constituency.

Sardesai said, “I am committed to giving the best of infrastructure to the people of Fatorda. We have decided to hot-mix roads even in housing societies after obtaining necessary permission and NOC from the concerned. All the taxpayers should get the benefit of the infrastructure.”

The GFP chief also pointed out that keeping in mind the trends of heart attacks especially post COVID, “I urge the Government of Goa to include preventive heart check-up in DDSY Scheme so that the Goenkars can go and do check-up without any financial burden, which would also help in early detection of heart diseases. This can save many lives.”

If the government fails to include preventive heart check-ups in the DDSY Scheme, We for Fatorda would conduct preventive heart check-ups, especially for the Fatordekars. This Free Preventive Heart Check-up would include examination by Physician and Cardiologist, ECG, Stress Test, 2D ECHO and Strain ECHO.

The Fatorda MLA said that the “hot-mixing worth Rs 2.16 crore will be completed within a month. People should judge us by our work and vote for us in the upcoming Municipal elections.”

Further, Vijai said, “Unity among the residents of Madel is most important and I can see it now. This unity helps us to carry out various development works, which would not only take Madel and Mungul forward but also the residents of the area forward.”

Sardesai spoke about the benefits of efficient infrastructure saying, “Recently our party General Secretary Prashant Naik suffered a massive heart attack and reached hospital within the Golden hour, due to which his life could be saved. On Monday, one of our strongest supporters from Pajifond Sanjay Kesarkar lost his life due to a massive heart attack as he couldn’t reach the hospital in time within the Golden hour.”

“I request the Fatordekars to register themselves on our helpline (8888411111) for the preventive heart check-up. We for Fatorda will be there always at the service of the Fatordekars,” said Sardesai.
