Hope repaired roads outlast expenses incurred

At last Panjimites heaved a sigh of relief as road repair work has been entrusted by PWD to a Haryana-Delhi firm having professional equipment to fill up potholes. I saw this work on July 31 with technical staff and a supervisor directing the work of filling patches of potholes on 18th June road. I have interviewed their senior engineer present and also it seems our PWD Jr Engineer Antonio Corte was also present at the venue. According to me the work was at a very high speed and one square metre pothole filling up was taking ten minutes with all ingredients which includes cutting, levelling and polishing /finishing. I was told that the materials were loaded in their vehicle at Colvale. They are equipped with 2 trucks in Goa, one in North and the other in South Goa. The Margao group already started the work and Panjim work was  seen today on 18th June road near CCP building. Hope everything goes well and hopefully their guarantee period of 18 months remains intact without any hazards.
