Salcete's lone Minister, Aleixo Sequeira on Friday issued directions to the Water Resources Department officials to find out the extent of damage to the bunds in the Velim constituency.
After his attention was drawn to the damaged bunds in the villages of Velim constituency at the Friday darbar, the Environment Minister immediately issued the directions to the WRD officials to conduct an inspection and submit a report for action to be taken.
“We cannot allow the bunds to remain in a neglected state. At many places, saline water has been entering the fields for want of repairs to the bunds. These bunds need to be reconstructed at the earliest,” he said.
The Minister also took a review of the decisions taken at the Friday darbar with district officials, including Additional Collector, Srinet Kothawale.
