CANACONA
Claiming that students from Canacona face difficulties in travelling to the Government College at Quepem, a Congress delegation met KTC authorities to seek a direct bus service from Polem-Canacona to the college.
A delegation led by GPCC General Secretary Janardhan Bhandari met KTC Asst Depot Manager Girish Gaude and explained that the Government College at Quepem has been a favourite for many students from Canacona given its upgraded infrastructure, quality teachers and modern amenities.
“However, many of these students from Canacona are forced to change 2-3 buses to reach Quepem. Moreover, the campus of the Quepem college is situated 2 kms away from the main road and students are compelled to walk a further distance of 2 kms to reach college,” explained Bhandari.
Bhandari claimed that students from Canacona have also been demanding a direct KTC bus service from Polem-Canacona to the Govt College at Quepem.
Bhandari suggested that a KTC bus service could start at 7 am from Polem to the Quepem College campus, which would benefit students not only from Canacona but from Balli, Morpirlla, Padi, Barcem and Khaddem to reach college in time.
He also demanded an evening bus service at 3.30 pm from Quepem College campus to Polem.
Bhandari further claimed that such a service would also help government staff from Canacona who travel daily to work in Quepem.
