Saligao heritage road has not been fully restored

The restoration work of the iconic heritage road, popularly known as 'Saligaoncho bandh' (starting from the culvert just after the Saligao cemetery and heading right upto the main road of Arrarim near Padmanabh building) was inaugurated with much fun fair by the local MLA Kedar Naik in the presence of the Saligao Sarpanch Lucas Remedios and a few of the MLA's die-hard supporters in the last week of November 2025. It should be noted that the above-mentioned road was in a horrible condition and was neglected for the last so many years for unknown reasons.  Well, the restoration work of the said road, starting from the culvert after Saligao cemetery was finally taken up just before the ZP elections and mysteriously ended near the culvert area of Mario Cordeiro's huge factory somewhere in December 2025. The remaining stretch heading right up towards the main road of Arrarim, near Padmanabh building was left and has still been kept incomplete. I think  Kedar Naik, the Sarpanch and the MLA's supporters need to tell the people using this particular road as to why the half stretch mentioned above has been kept incomplete and when it will be completed.
