PANAJI: The Atal Setu, which was inaugurated in 2019 at the whopping cost of Rs 1400 crores, has been closed for maintenance in two years.
Bhartiya Janata Party, which claims to be the party of progress and development, is nothing but an epitome of Bhrashtachar Janta Party, alleged Rahul Mhambre, AAP Goa Convenor.
“The Atal Setu arm from Merces circle has been closed for vehicular traffic from the last 100 days to undertake work of overlaying and hot mixing from Merces circle to KTC bus stand. It was closed three months back, and people of Goa have been told that the bridge is closed only for 100 days. The 100 days have passed, but there is no sight of completion of the work”, Mhambre added.
He further said, “the showers of November have created potholes on the roads, which is dangerous for the commuters. Since the third bridge across River Mandovi was thrown open for vehicular traffic in 2019, every monsoon pothole has appeared on the bridge, making it difficult for motorists to drive. Earlier, media reports revealed that the main reason for the situation was the hurry to the inaugurated bridge.
There was no proper curing period, and that is why the tar is giving way”.
“The corruption is evident on each and every occasion, and each and every government project has been done in the state.
In the name of events as well, they are spending crores of rupees. A government should work for the citizen and provide basic facilities, but here the government is busy with event management”, said Mhambre.
