The road widening works were launched at Jairam Nagar, Dabolim on Monday evening.
Panchayats Minister and local MLA Mauvin Godinho inaugurated the works in the presence of Sancoale Zilla Panchayat (ZP) member Anita Thorat, Chicalim Sarpanch Kamla Prasad Jagannath Yadav, and others.
Speaking at the event, Godinho highlighted the rapid development in Jairam Nagar area, noting that it has become one of the most upscale locations in Dabolim constituency.
“We have undertaken a series of development projects here, including the installation of a new electric transformer that will boost power supply from 100 KVA to 200 KVA. This will address existing voltage issues and improve street lighting, enhancing the overall environment for the residents of Jairam Nagar,” said Godinho.
“This road widening project, initiated under the ZP funds with the support of Sancoale ZP Anita Thorat, marks a significant achievement. It's rare to see large-scale projects like this undertaken using ZP funds, making this a unique milestone,” he added.
ZP member Anita Thorat expressed her satisfaction with the progress made using ZP funds, noting that it disproves the notion that large-scale developments cannot be executed under such funds.
Thorat also listed other ZP-funded projects such as the construction of a Futsal ground, installation of a water pump to improve PWD water supply, walking tracks, and the development of open spaces.
Thorat said ZP funds would be used for various public needs, including distributing sports kits, sound systems, sewing machines, benches for residential colonies, and chairs for temples.
