Canacona roads get hotmix carpet
CANACONA: For the first time in nearly a decade, internal roads are to be hotmix carpeted in the jurisdiction of Canacona Municipal Council (CMC).
Canacona MLA and Sports Minister Ramesh Tawadkar launched the Rs 74.02 lakh hotmixing work of the Patnem-Palolem road at a function at Patnem. Councillor Maruti Komarkant and others were present. Councillors Dayanand Pagui and Kishore Shet, besides ex-CMC chairperson Sameer Dessai were present at the function.
The Rs 74.02 lakh hotmixing work from Patnem junction to Palolem junction road, which covers a distance of about 2.14 kms, is likely to be completed within two days.
Most of the internal roads in CMC area are lying in a bad state and have not been repaired or hotmixed in nearly a decade. “The last time that a road was tarred was a few months before the 2007 assembly elections,” sources told The Goan.
