Mess created in Panaji will get worse during monsoon

And with the start of continuous heavy showers very soon, no one really knows how the interior of Panaji will really look like during this year's monsoon. Water pipelines are already seen bursting on a daily basis in some parts of Panaji city (especially near areas where the Smart city works was carried out) and due to which the residents are rightly heard expressing their fears about the possibility of sewage water getting mixed with their drinking water pipelines during this year's monsoon. I think that the only prayer I can say before the start of the actual monsoon this time is 'God alone save the people of Panaji'.
