The office of the Water Resources Department (WRD), Quepem Division 14, Subdivision 4, is reportedly functioning under inadequate conditions, with a severe shortage of basic infrastructure and essential facilities affecting both employees and members of the public.
According to reports, staff members are compelled to work using broken and damaged chairs, some of which have reportedly been tied together with threads to remain usable. The office also lacks proper seating arrangements for visitors, causing inconvenience to citizens who come to the department for official work.

The condition of the office infrastructure has also come under scrutiny, with the main entrance door reportedly damaged and an insufficient number of tables and storage units available for day-to-day administrative functions.
Officials and staff have expressed concern over the absence of proper cupboards and storage facilities, forcing important government files and records to be kept openly on tables. This has raised questions regarding the safety, security and preservation of official documents.
The challenges extend beyond the office premises, as employees reportedly face difficulties conducting field inspections due to the poor condition of the department’s official vehicle. In many cases, staff members are said to rely on their personal vehicles to visit project sites and carry out official duties, adding to their operational burden.
The reported deficiencies have highlighted the need for urgent infrastructure upgrades and improved logistical support to enable the department to function efficiently and provide better public service.
