As taxpayers money cannot be poured down the drain, any new project or proposal the Government plans to introduce should be well thought over and planned in keeping with the available infrastructure and feasibility. This is what should happen. The reality is different. Over the last few years the Tourism Department amidst much euphoria introduced hot air balloon, amphibian vehicles, helicopter ride, hop on buses, women taxis and other fantasies which all soon came a cropper. Those responsible for such projects should have been hauled up.
At Bambolim that very ill designed underpass near Goa Medical College is another casualty where the taxpayers have had to foot the bill. The underpass turns into a swimming pool during the monsoons with neither the St Andre nor St Cruz MLAs having cared to speak out on the subject.
The state of the roads across Goa also doesn’t seem to be the concern of the authorities. In the peak of this tourism season, the roads across Anjuna and Vagator are accident prone especially for two wheelers as driving on those potholed roads could land you in hospital with serious injuries.
