PANJIM: Panjim MLA Atanasio ‘Babush’ Monserratte has sought Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant intervention to ensure that the roads in the Capital City be repaired by Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Ltd (IPSCDL).
The move comes after the public works department (PWD) declined to hand over the Panjim roads to IPSCDL, who had initiated to take up repair of works.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with CM, Monserratte said that he has pointed out to the CM that PWD has no funds to take up road repair work and as a result they are in bad condition. “We need to take advantage of Smart City Mission, wherein 50 percent funds are provided by the Center,” he said.
The MLA said that the Chief Minister has assured him to do the needful.
