Goanet mourns the passing of Cornel da Costa in London, England - Sep 10/10

---
We had the pleasure of driving to Dabolim airport in the early hours of  28th 
August on our way back to Dubai.  The condition of the main road  from 
Chicalim junction to the airport is in such a terrible condition  that it took 
our driver almost half an hour to go zig - zag in the rains  in order to avoid 
the thousand potholes on this approx. one kilometer  stretch of the road.  
Wish Manohar Parrikar was the current CM, we could  have earned a lot money by 
showing him these potholes. The tourists, VIPs and  we Goans travel on this 
road first thing on arrival to Goa and last  thing on our departure from 
Goa.  If the condition of the road that we  encounter after stepping down 
from the plane is such, God help the  remaining roads in our lovely Goa.!!!

The roads in Goa are in a pathetic state. It makes driving dangerous and the
vehicles too take a beating.  Instead of properly maintaining the existing
roads we are made to dream of a sea link and highways. If there is proper
quality control there is no reason why the roads should be washed away.

The roads in Goa are in a pathetic state. It makes driving dangerous and the
vehicles too take a beating.  Instead of properly maintaining the existing
roads we are made to dream of a sea link and highways. If there is proper
quality control there is no reason why the roads should be washed away. The
government needs to tackle our roads as a priority. The other option is to
focus on building more hospitals and morgues to attend to the accident
victims. But going by this government’s track record it will do both.  It
will continue squandering money by giving us substandard roads with no
quality control and also making a fast buck by setting up new hospitals.

When Mr. Manohar Parrikar was the Chief Minister he had announced a Rs 1000
reward for every pothole shown. What is your offer Mr. Digambar Kamat? You
may be unable to show us a 1000 metre stretch of a road without a pothole.
