The two photographs show the Mapusa river being de-silted/dredged from the
tiled park area
which has been beautified by the Bastora Panchayat for the first time since
the Mapusa Bridge has been rebuilt after it was totally demolished through
dynamiting it by the retreating Portuguese in 1961, more precisely on 19
December (early morning), 1961.
What about dredging/de-silting the portion which is out of the reach of the
earth moving machinery?
The cause of the heavy siltation is the unplanned and improvised 'piped
bridges across the free flowing Mapusa river and elsewhere in Goa.
This is what Goa Su-Raj Party has to say in it's 'Roadmap for Goa' published
on 20th August 2005 (to commemorate the World Goa Day) about the culture of
piped bridges over free flowing rivers in Goa under Chapter III [General
Administration] (e) Bridges & Fly-Overs:
Quote
Pipe-structured bridges such as the ones on the Guirim-Carrasco Vaddo
highway by-pass shall e replaced by arch bridges, as the submerged pipes
pose hindrance to the free flow of water and is the cause for siltation of
the river beds.
Unquote
Goa Su-Raj Party is undoubtedly the forward looking Party of Goa. W.r..t.
dredging small rivers like the Mapusa river end tributaries, a special
floating bucket mini-dredgers will be commissioned to dredge all the rivers
of Goa including the main stretch of the Mandovi river.

It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizens contest elections.
It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizen voters elect good, honest
representatives.
GOA urgently needs 'GOOD, HONEST, DISCIPLINED SYSTEM of GOVERNANCE'.
Wherein, even a dishonest person is forced to be good, honest n disciplined,
or to QUIT.
Only through PPS can such 'good, honest n disciplined system of governance'
be identified and accepted.
PPS GOA =PEOPLE for POLITICAL SANITY = PEOPLE'S POWER SYSTEM
for a date in 2012
Display the 'PPS' sticker on your vehicle today, to reject political madness
tomorrow.
