Whenever there is a heavy shower one can find rain water collecting in such a huge quantity which looks like a flooded river on the stretch of flyover between Agassaim and Goa Velha going towards Panaji.
The problem also continues under the new bridges where the water collected on top starts flowing onto the road. The situation turns dangerous when water splashes on the windscreens of vehicles below which causes sudden blackout or fear to the vehicle driver which can lead to serious accidents.
The Highway authorities and PWD engineers have failed to rectify these defects along the newly constructed highway. Engineers should be made to move around to check on the newly constructed roads during the monsoons so that they can rectify the dangerous spots.
It’s not correct to blame the drivers for reckless driving. The Police should also start booking the PWD engineers for poor quality road design and execution of work when they write the panchanama.
I hope the PWD Minister Nilesh Cabral will act immediately since this is the right time before the monsoons bid goodbye.
