For road maintenance, the government sanctioned more than Rs 22 crore.
In order to solve the electricity supply problem of Mandrem constituency, a special sub zonal electricity office will be established by spending Rs 32 crore.
“Although Tiracol is a part of Goa, it is being supplied electricity from Maharashtra state.

Once this work is completed, people from that area will get electricity from Goa,” said Sopte.
