In 2003 during his earlier term as Chief Minister it was announced by Manohar Parrikar that anyone spotting a pothole on any road in Goa would be rewarded with Rs 1000. Ironically today there is not a road without potholes all over.
Despite the Bombay High Court having ruled that good roads is a fundamental right of every citizen, the roads across Goa are in a very appalling state. Its Potholes and craters galore. Some roads which were hot-mixed just before the monsoons have been washed away. What a criminal waste of public funds. If there had been proper quality control, the roads would not have been in its current pitiable state. The government needs to wake up from its slumber and embark upon our potholed roads on a priority.
