Aldona Constituency MLA Adv Carlos Alvares Ferreira along with a team of officials from the Public Works Department (PWD), road division, conducted an inspection of the roads in the constituency.
On Friday morning, the inspection commenced from Ponolem, and later covered Calvim, Lankdem, Nivim, Panth and Carona.
Later during the day, the inspection team headed to Carona, Ucasssim, Paliem & Bastora.
“We’re here to serve the people and make sure basic necessities are provided. Over the years, there have been areas that have been neglected. People have come forward making grievance that works have been unattended since the last 10 years. We will work towards rectifying these issues at the earliest. I am grateful to all those people who have given their suggestions. We’re looking into it and following up with the authorities concerned,” Ferreira said.
Ferreira whilst visiting the Pomburpa crematorium said that the approach to the Pomburpa crematorium is steep and dangerous, and in a unsafe condition.
“We need to take some action. I have requested the PWD engineers to quickly work on this so that we can have a long-term solution for the people but this requires immediate action on top priority,” he said.
Ferreira also visited Pomburpa spring following complaints from citizens regarding the neglect of the spring.
“I noticed that people have drinks here and throw bottles at this place. The area also needs proper illumination. The power department had ensured two light and a mast which are since functional, however there is darkness in the seating areas. The toilets are also closed. I will approach the Government and the GTDC to take it up on priority so that the spring can be revived and enjoyed by all,” he said.
He also added that “this is the first in the series of inspections and more inspections of left out areas and other villages including two wards of Mapusa will be taken up shortly”.he further said.
