Work on the much-awaited PWD project to lay a new sewage line and construct 20 new chambers in Sada-Vasco was launched on Monday.
Mormugao MLA Sankalp Amonkar launched the work in the presence of Councillor Shraddha Amonkar and local residents.
Speaking to reporters, Amonkar said the sewage issues had plagued residents of Sada for over four decades.
"People in the area have been struggling for a very long time. Overflowing sewage caused such inconvenience that residents had to wash their feet before entering their homes," Amonkar explained.
"We have launched the work to lay a new sewage pipeline that will put an end to these problems. Additionally, 20 new chambers will be constructed, which will prevent the frequent blockages in existing chambers," Amonkar added.
The project, estimated at Rs 20 lakh, is expected to be completed within two months.
Amonkar further stated that other essential issues in the area, including water supply shortages in Headland Sada, are being addressed.
"Plans are underway to construct two large-capacity water reservoirs to resolve these water supply problems. Work on this project will begin soon,” said Amonkar.
