VASCO
Vasco MLA Krishna Salkar on Friday said road repair works would be completed in Vasco before the Damodar Saptah festival.
The MLA was speaking to reporters after conducting a joint site inspection of the ongoing road widening works near the St Andrew’s Church junction.
The inspection was carried out in the presence of Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) Chairperson Girish Borker, as well as officials from the PWD, traffic department, and local police.
Speaking to reporters, Salkar said that while the road widening project was originally planned for completion before June 28, the early onset of monsoon showers had disrupted the schedule.
“The road is almost ready and the overhead electrical cables have already been removed. I have directed authorities to ensure that all potholes are cleared as soon as possible, especially with the Saptah festival just around the corner,” said Salkar. He added that the PWD had also been asked to reinstate roads wherever necessary, particularly along the Mestawada road where sewage works had begun earlier.
Salkar also confirmed that a comprehensive hot-mixing project for Vasco’s roads is lined up and will begin soon after the monsoons, by the end of August.
