VASCO
Vasco MLA Krishna Salkar on Monday launched the work to tar internal roads in Vasco city at a cost of Rs 2.5 crore.
“Internal roads in the city have been neglected for the last 10 years and we have taken the works in two phases through two contractors. We are starting works on the first phase today and both these phases will cover the entire city roads,” Salkar told reporters.
“Besides these works, there is also one coat of tar pending for the main FL Gomes road and that will be taken within 15 days after these phases are complete. We are also planning to take up works on tarring of the internal road of KTC bus stand.”
“As of now, if we complete the outside road, dust from the buses moving to and from the Kadamba Bus stand will spoil the road and hence we will do tarring of the internal road of the KTC bus stand and move outwards later. We have prepared estimates for the roads inside and outside the KTC Bus stand and those works will also start very soon,” said Salkar.
Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) Chairperson Leo Rodrigues said he was pleased that the road works have finally begun because people faced a lot of inconvenience while moving on the internal roads.
