Dept of drinking water at Borda should be shifted

The PWD department of drinking water has been changed to DDW (Department of Drinking Water). The office has not yet changed the office's board with new department name.  In Borda the old DDW office does not have a sign board on the main road to show the direction of its office which is on the hill road. The old DDW building is unsafe and the customers hit the floor stairs while moving to one side of the office. The offices are congested for the employees to work and the public to enter. It's a government cottage building. The DDW and its minister, government of Goa should immediately shift the WWD Borda, Margao office to the safe place where people can find the office easily. Even the electricity meter box is unsafe.  Requesting our CM to look into this matter and solve the problems of public as soon as possible.
