Mormugao MLA Sankalp Amonkar has directed authorities to initiate urgent preventive measures and has requested public to avoid the affected road, following a major landslide in Sada-Vasco on Saturday.
Amonkar had conducted a joint site inspection at the Sada landslide site on Monday, which was attended by officials from the Public Works Department (PWD), Gammon India and Highway authorities, to work out a permanent solution to the recurring issue.
Addressing reporters after the inspection, Amonkar emphasised the urgent need for preventive measures and directed the Mormugao deputy collector and other departments concerned to coordinate and implement solutions immediately to prevent further occurrences.
Amonkar also urged the public to avoid using the road near the landslide site for their safety. Acknowledging the potential inconvenience caused by halting traffic, he directed the PWD to close one lane of the highway and convert the other lane into two-way traffic to ensure smooth movement.
