VASCO:
"We feel cheated as since Matanhy Saldanha time, this road development has been on his manifesto and also the BJP manifesto for the last two elections, but once elected no one is bothered. I wish Matanhy was alive. He would take this development first after being elected," said the sarpanch.
Deputy Sarpanch and local Panch Sylvia D'Souza said plans for this road were on the cards. "The only hassle that was hindering the development of this access roads was that the property for the road was belonging to two different landlords, who were at loggerheads over the land to be given for the road. Talks with both the landlords will be taken up by the panchayat soon," said D'Souza.
"Thank God she was not injured otherwise we would have to put her on a chair and rush her to the main road which is far. There are 60 houses and 150 people but the road is neglected for last many years. We as a panchayat will help her and give all support and probably offer some monetary help," assured D'Souza.
Social activist and former panch Roquezinho D'Souza said the Panchayat should take up this matter on top priority. "I urge the government authorities to take a serious note of this road and remember that 150 people live here in danger with no scope of any emergency services," he said.
