Panaji has been reduced to health and safety mess

It is appalling that the authorities are so insensitive to the plight being faced by the residents and those commuting to Panaji. All the roads of Panaji are recklessly dug posing a danger to us all. There is not a road that remains to be dug. The immense dust that the city is enveloped in poses a health hazard. Roads caving due to Smart city works is a serious risk to life and property.  The MLA, Mayor, Councillors and the Smart City officials will never be pardoned for the pain and anguish that the people of Panaji are enduring. God forbid if Panaji gets even a light shower, the city will be thrown out of gear with the catastrophic mess that will be faced. Gambling with people’s lives and property while milking the system is dangerous and unacceptable. It is inevitable that pathetic workmanship with no quality control and where self-interest is paramount will prove to be a disaster. Panjimites deserve a lot better to be safer.
