CANACONA: A big gash of 1-metre deep has appeared in the middle of the path-road at Xeller in Canacona, risking the lives of people.
According to sources, a narrow internal road (‘ behind the Health/Hospital Quarters) from Highway Road going towards the residential houses’ locality at Xeller has sunk about a metre deep right in the middle.
This road reportedly has a gutter below covered with RCC slabs, some of which have broken and collapsed below.
The huge gash is over half a metre in width and breath. This road can be used only by two-wheelers, with great care. Sources informed the road has been in the same situation for months now, and neither authorities nor ward representatives are paying any heed or attention to the dangerous situation.
A social worker- Pavan Tubki, who happened to notice the dangerous dug-out right in the middle of the road, appealed to the local representative and local government authorities to visit the place and do the needful at the earliest possible. ‘Negligence can cost someone’s life, please do not ignore such type of situations. This road may be or may not be used heavily, but anyone or an unsuspecting person can fall prey to such a dangerous situation’, Tubki said.
