The office of the Salcete Civil Supplies housed in the old Collectorate building witnessed serpentine queues over the last three days, with officials attributing the situation to problems associated with the server.
The situation left the citizens an agitated lot as they accused the officials with doing nothing to mitigate their hardships, only blaming the server.
A citizen Oswald Fernandes pointed out that people have been standing in a queue for hours in the morning session, with no sign of the office attending to the public. He pointed out that while the non-functioning lift of the old Collectorate building put many a citizen to great hardships, the situation was no better at the office of Civil Supplies. What agitated members of the public the most was the fact that while one computer was functioning normally, the second one was down with internet problem, with citizens demanding to know how come the internet problem has affected only one computer.
Many a citizen who had come for corrections in the names in Aadhaar cards had to go home disappointed as the huge queue was not moving at all.
When contacted, Civil Supplies Inspector Arun Kumar Pillai attributed the situation to issues connected with internet. He explained that the server was down during the last two days and the internet is slow on Wednesday, affecting the services. He, however, pointed out that the office has geared up to meet the requirements of the citizens, promising to attend to each and every citizen and resolve their grievances.
