After the disastrous Smart City works in Panaji and the inconvenience caused to residents and visitors to the capital city, it appears that it is now the turn of Porvorim, after the work of construction of the new elevated corridor was brought to an abrupt stop by the local MLA, as it was found that the contractor had not submitted a traffic management plan to the traffic cell and the Goa government.
It is simply shocking that a project of such magnitude and importance was allowed to commence without a proper plan for the diversion of traffic and and approach roads, even though tentative planning was carried out two years before.
As of now, Porvorim is in the throes of a nightmarish traffic congestion leading to chaotic conditions especially at the Holy Family church junction and CHOGM road. One can imagine the plight of the commuters and motorists if such construction work goes on in an unplanned manner.
