It is a clear case of cheating done by a CCP contractor on drainage work near Bal Bhavan. Many months back people have seen quite a number of cables protruding in the air near Bal Bhavan on the other side of road closer to Parade ground and when Panjimites and vehicle drivers made noise the drain area was quickly closed and directed towards other side of the banyan tree after closure with cement blocks. The work continued from the other side of Bal Bhavan and again more cables belonging to various government departments were found. The CCP contractor carried on with the work after closure of drain. When I happened to see this storm water drain not culminating in the Mandovi, I questioned the contractor who told me lies that he was asked by CCP to connect to the chamber nearby which he quickly closed the drain and left it as it is and possibly pocketed the money for work. I am sure that neither the CCP nor the contractor know that the canal leads to the river Mandovi as CCP seems to have no proper, consistent plans.
