ALDONA: Road repair works have resumed in the Aldona constituency after being stalled for several months due to continuous rains. Aldona MLA Adv. Carlos Alvares Ferreira on Tuesday said that the first stretch to be taken up is Shetye Waddo, where hotmixing work had been left incomplete before the monsoon.
“We have commenced work in Shetye Waddo, which is a continuation of the hotmixing of dug-up roads. I had instructed officials to start work here on priority. I had inaugurated it earlier, but the rains halted the work. People suffered, endured the bad roads, and I insisted to the engineer that if the work wasn’t taken up, we would go to court. Once the rains stopped, I was assured that work would begin. I inspected it this morning,” Ferreira said.
He added that two other badly damaged stretches will also be prioritised before other pending works across the constituency.
“The second stretch at Bil One, commonly known as Bilo, where the road had completely deteriorated due to water flow along the slope, will now be repaired. Then there is Paliem, Uskoi, where people faced severe hardship. I received constant messages seeking repairs, but nothing could be done during the rains. These stretches will be completed on priority, followed by other pending road works across Aldona,” Ferreira said.
