Margao’s burning issues may not have received the attention they deserved from the Manohar Parrikar regime during the last two-and-a-half-years. Even then, Madgavkars had pinned their hopes on Parrikar to deliver the goods and bring about a turn around on various fronts – be it the comprehensive plan to decongest the town, a lifeline to the ailing district hospital, the rehabilitation of the residents of Talsanzor and Moti Dongor, the Sonsodo imbroglio, the de-contamination of River Sal, return of the fields acquired by the Congress et al. While governance is a continuous process, Parrikar’s absence in the State has cast a shadow not just in terms of delivery, but the funds needed to ensure that these projects see the light of day. GUILHERME ALMEIDA takes a close look at the host of projects and issues which the town was looking forward for a solution to during Parrikar’s tenure.

All that Margao has received from Manohar Parrikar are promises. With the former chief minister now ensconced in Delhi, Madgavkars hope that the promises will not be swept under the carpet
