Acquisition in 1988 for two lane road at Rs13p.m completed Unreasonable now to convert into 6 lanes without further acquisition Residents have lost houses , adjusted to the sotuation The agitation is over 10 years.The plan for bypass is avaiable and shown to be cost effective.Then Mr.Parikar flagged off 3 alternatives and showed merit. and understanding.Corresponndence is addressed repeatedly to all concerned with documents several times and even in person. Including PMO and Road transport ministry Bypass ensures no demolitions, ample space for futures expansion, the land is uncultivated fields and NOC issued by Communinade , no shifting of service lines of electricity, telephones . Water and optical Fibre cable As against disadvantages of congestion , Displacement, partial demolitions. Sound and noise pollution, no service roads .The intended flyover, never once disclosed kept in the dark will come in close proximity to residences.Besides adjustment of service roads .managing two important junctions at St Sebastian Chapel and Dandeavado face space constraints besides provision for service roads and virtually dividing the Village hindering easy accessPresently with new insensible rumblers the number of fatal accidents at the junction are far more the statics for past 40 years plus will show. The worst scenario is freezing of land for development 45 m from centre on either side Information from reliable sources is that State Govt is the snake in the grass not taking a call of grievances for political reasons The most convincing reasons is that land is avaiable for two lanes and not for4 or 6 lanes as now proposed.The residents have offered to repay compensation of Rs 13vp.m with interests as applicable and was paid It is the central Govt scheme and there is no dearth of funds that can be spared Lately the Panchayat has revived interests for legitimate bypass proposals and is a welcome sign of support
