OLD GOA
Even as St Andre MLA Viresh Borkar raised the issue of the need to rebuild the bundhs to enable khazan farming, Environment Minister Nilesh Cabral said the government has approached the World Bank to fund the same.
The issue was raised by MLA Borkar at the Neura function wherein he urged that the minister should see to it that the bundhs get rebuilt.
Replying to the demand, Cabral later said the bundhs are lying neglected today because they have not been maintained.
“During the olden days, the bundhs were maintained due to which they survived for centuries but today the neglect has changed it all,” Cabral opined.
“Since the repairs of the bundhs require thousands of rupees, we have approached the World Bank to fund the project,” Cabral added.
