It is reported that Rs 50 crore has been sanctioned for Vasco by the Goa State Urban Development Agency (GSUDA) and that it would invest Rs 150 crore sanctioned under the Smart Cities Mission. Good to know that Vasco is the next target city to be smartened up after Panaji. Both the cities have different sets of problems in terms of population, traffic, roads, lanes, buildings, utility pipelines (gas, sewerage, drinking, etc) and so forth. It would be an interesting challenge to make Vasco a Smart City in contrast to Panaji. We hope that the GSUDA, authorities, contractors, engineers, workers and others who were involved in making the capital city smart would learn from the blunders “ made, remade and unmade “ and not repeat the same in the port city. Let's keep our fingers crossed and wish Vascoites all the best, they will need it.
