MARGAO
Leader of the Opposition Digambar Kamat on Friday urged the Goa government to defer implementation of new traffic rules as per Motor Vehicle Act 2019 till basic infrastructure is made available for the public for safe, secured and smooth driving and ensure safety of pedestrians.
In a statement, Kamat has urged the government to take immediate steps to make roads pothole-free and also provide other facilities such as proper and readable signboards, traffic signals, demarcation of parking areas, etc.
The Leader of the Opposition further said it’s also important that government takes steps to provide hassle-free infrastructure such as footpaths, zebra crossings, etc for facilitation of pedestrians.
Kamat’s demand comes days after he had demanded that the Goa government should declare a holiday till they find some time to act on the potholes and minimise the pains of commuters.
The Leader of the Opposition had made the statement after speaking to the police traffic personnel, who had contended that potholes
are creating obstruction to the smooth movement of vehicles.
Meanwhile, the Leader of the Opposition has hoped the Goa government will start a drive to remove all abandoned vehicles parked on roads and other public places as demanded by him in the recently concluded Assembly session.
