We are almost on the threshold of the South West monsoon , yet we see roads and footpaths in Porvorim in a disastrous condition. To add to the misery , the PWD has now undertaken opening up inspection chambers/manholes along the entire stretch of CHOGM road walkway. Almost a dozen of these manholes have been left open for some reason or the other , and now there are signs of a 4 inch dia PVC pipe being pushed through the manholes. Prior to this, a few chambers have still been left open and broken paver blocks yet to be replaced. All this has made it very difficult and dangerous for pedestrians to walk . It is hoped the PWD realises this grave inconvenience and danger and starts to work in a more responsible manner.
