Precautionary measures at Bandora turn needed

The sharp turn near Sneha Mandir at Bandora in Ponda happens to be a most critical location. A few years back rusted traffic signboards existing on either side of this sharp turn were dismantled from this area.

Let us hope that prompt favourable action would follow in public interest.
