The incompetence of our government in Goa is being repeatedly shown in the traffic woes that people have to face while crossing the Zuari bridge over the last few days and particularly since Christmas. Recognising the misery heaped on commuters over the last 5 years while the new bridge was being constructed and with plans to open one side of the bridge by end Dec 2022 for traffic, should the government not have examined expediting the opening to around Dec 20 before Christmas when the holiday season traffic increases? It is known that people including tourists arrive over Christmas - New Year and thus anticipating this would have shown that our government had more sense and conveyed sympathy to the travelling citizens plight. The Goa government could have taken a decision to start the bridge traffic as soon as the facilities were ready by say around Dec 20. Then Union Minister Nitin Gadkari could have come and done a formal inauguration. This would have shown that our government is responsive to citizen's woes and takes positive action to resolve them.
