There’s finally a ray of hope that the Administrator of Communidades, South Vishal Kundaikar may release funds for the repairs of a damaged sluice gate at Cutbona in the jurisdiction of Velim Communidade.
President of Carambolim Communidade Venzy Viegas said he along with Velim Communidade committee have been following up the matter with the South Goa Communidade Administrator, adding “Today was finally a day of relief, with the administrator Vishal Kundaikar promising to clear the cheque to repair the damage caused to the sluice gate”.
In a statement, Viegas said Velim Comunidade which comes under Carambolim Comunidade administrative jurisdiction have been constantly following up with regards to the damaged Ubot sluice gate, which was reported damaged in September 2019.
The Velim comunidade committee headed by president Marco Barros and villagers were living in fear during the last monsoon, he added.
The collapse of Ubot Sluice gate in Cutobona would increase the risk of flooding Cutobona, Carxeta, Xiperet, area and also damage Fishery diesel pump at Cutbona, said Communidade member Praxy Colaco.
