Henceforth there will be no Airport road in Ponda. It will be Shri Aurobindo Road.
PMC changes the Market approach road (popular among the public as Airport road) to Aurbindo Road.
PONDA: Ponda Municipal Council, in its meeting today, decided to change the name of the approach road to market with Shri Aurobindo road.
The general public unknowingly had named the approach road as an airport road for many years, and it was popular among the common public as an Airport road due to difficulty in pronunciation or other reasons.
PMC, in its special meeting, passed a resolution today to change the approach road name to Shri Aurobindo Road. PMC did this per the suggestion received under 150 the Birth Anniversary of Shri Aurobindo Commemoration (naming of road or street).
While discussing the issue, councillor Venkatesh Naik suggested approach road or airport road to market be named after Shri Aurobindo. Chairperson Ritesh Naik amusingly mentioned how the general public used to call it wrongly an airport road.
Finally, after discussion councillor decided to name it after Shri Aurobindo road.
It may be recalled that a few years ago, considering the traffic congestion and rush on Market road, PMC had constructed one approach road behind the Ponda market for the convenience of the public visiting Ponda Market.
Commoners generally find it challenging to pronounce approach road or understand the meaning of approach road. Many started with easy pronunciation as Airport Road, which continued for a long time. This 300-meter-long approach road is too wide, i.e. double to thrice the width of other roads in Ponda, and due to this, finally, many people in Ponda started calling it Airport road because of its comprehensive nature.
Though no airport close to Ponda, the name Ponda Airport road became famous among the public, and with PMC started Ganesh Chaturthi Matoli Bazaar at this road, it also gained much publicity through newspapers as the news was hit with the title Matoli bazaar at Airport road. This confused lot of Goans about how airport roads exist in Ponda.
It is learnt that Every Municipality in Goa is received direction from Government as per the suggestion received under 150 on the birth anniversary of the Shri Aurobindo Commemoration(naming of road or street).
Meanwhile, in another resolution, PMC also decided to extend the outsourcing of door-to-door collection contracts by one year. Chairperson Ritesh Naik said both solution proposals would be sent to DMA for approval.
