Despite the deadline passing for stopping the digging of asphalt roads in Siolim at Marna MDR-6, the Electricity Department contractor continues to lay the underground cable. This road was resurfaced two years ago and maintained for five years, but now another contractor is deliberately damaging it. Who should be held responsible for this blatant negligence and destruction?
The signs do not have reflectors, making it difficult for drivers to see the ongoing digging at night. The road has developed large potholes that collect water, posing a serious danger to two-wheeler riders. If an accident occurs due to this man-made hazard, the Siolim Civic and Consumer Forum will not hesitate to file a case in consumer court for compensation for the injured and to hold the contractor and the department accountable for negligence.
