“Shrubs Overrun Mapusa Footpaths: A Reflection of Neglect?”
Mapusa: The Mapusa Municipality’s footpaths have been overgrown with shrubs, sparking debate among residents. This issue likely stems from neglect rather than a deliberate effort to beautify public spaces, as the growth of shrubs on footpaths is probably due to the municipality’s failure to clear them.
The municipality has faced criticism for neglecting public spaces, including children’s parks that were temporarily converted into garbage collection points. Mapusa struggles with garbage management, which has led to protests and concerns about public health and environmental sustainability. Additionally, potholes on roads and open drains pose a risk to public safety.
The inadequate clearing and maintenance of footpaths may have contributed to the growth of shrubs. Budget constraints might also be hindering the municipality’s ability to maintain public spaces effectively.
Overgrown shrubs can create an eyesore, affecting the area’s appearance. Moreover, the neglect of public spaces and infrastructure issues can pose risks to public safety. Given the current state of footpaths and other public areas, the municipality’s commitment to improving public spaces is questionable.
