The Goa government often promotes itself as delivering good governance, but in reality, that is not always the case. Public convenience does not seem to be a priority. Take roadworks, for example. Why are they carried out during peak hours instead of late at night or early in the morning? This causes unnecessary inconvenience to the public. It seems like local MLAs, ministers, and the government want to showcase development (at taxpayers’ expense) by ensuring these works are done when people can see them. The Goa government should learn from progressive cities and countries, where such works are managed with public convenience and safety as top priorities.
