Each project seems to begin with lofty claims of minimal inconvenience, only for commuters to be left stranded for months. What makes Porvorim’s situation particularly concerning is that this is not a remote bypass but a vital link between North Goa and the state capital.

Ravindra Jadeja toiled hard for his 1/75 in 25 overs, while Jasprit…
