The recent PWD water bills have come as a shock to many water consumers in Goa. Also, why is an amount of Rs 100 charged by the PWD as inspection charges? Is it worth paying this amount? I wrote to the Water Dept Div XVII, Sub-Div II, Mapusa office, to inspect non-functional meter of Radha Park Coop Hsg Soc in Siolim. To date, there has been no visit or inspection. Will the PWD Minister or JE justify this fee? This is daylight robbery by the department. At first, there is no 24x7 water supply and to add to the consumers’ woes, a recent study shows the presence of microplastics in the water supplied. The government was quick to reject the report, the same way it denied the presence of formalin in fish. The present government is always in denial mode. Passing the buck, U-turns and hype of good governance are the hallmarks of this government.
