AAP alleges scam in Goa's underground cabling works, Min says Impossible

Panaji: Aam Aadmi Party has raised allegations of a scam in the underground cabling works in Mapusa, claiming substandard work and the use of inferior cables. AAP has demanded that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Power Minister Sudin Dhavlikar initiate a vigilance inquiry into the matter.


AAP leaders pointed out that the quality of the cabling work is below standard, which could lead to long-term issues and safety concerns for the residents of Mapusa. They highlighted that the use of inferior cables compromises the integrity of the electrical infrastructure.


When questioned about these allegations, Power Minister Sudin Dhavlikar dismissed the claims as baseless. "Impossible! There is no substandard work done by the power department. Our department uses all ISI-marked and guaranteed products. There might be faults in the connections or joints, but there is no substandard work," Dhavlikar stated.


The AAP has urged the government to take these allegations seriously and conduct a thorough investigation to ensure the quality and safety of the underground cabling works in Mapusa.
