Villagers of Pilgaon, Bicholim stopped Vendanta limited mining trucks from plying on public road last night. They are permitted ore transportation upto 6.00 pm but last night it went past 7.30 pm. Backed by local Panchayat people came on road and blocked mining trucks from operating on Public Roads. It is very important steps by Pilgaon people to confront corporate loot of Goa.
These pictures are from Carambolim village in Tiwadi taluka of Goa at a locality known as 'Petter' right in front of the residence of Carambolim Sarpach Wanisha Valladares. This road is full of public health danger as it is marked with innumerable pot holes and accumulation of water. The road connects Old Goa to Aggaism via Carambolim and Neura. The entire road is in pitiable state and is orphaned as no public authorities are paying attention to the same.
The two MLAs under whose jurisdiction this road comes - Pandurang Madkaikar and Vishnu Wagh - have surprisingly turned blind eye. It is needless to state that local Sarpanch too have ignored this state right in front of her house for reasons best known to her.
This road is used by large number of vehicles including tourist vehicles. Trucks as well as buses. Kadmaba buses connecting Bicholim, Valpoi to Tittan and Margao use this road. Transportation of all vehicles has slowed down due to this pitiable road conditions. Goa CM Parrikar heading the current government too is blind about this. Perhaps he believes with confidence that no Bamon is affected by this road so let it go to dogs. In any case the road needs urgent attention. It is a priority and necessity that this road must be attended to. As the MLAs and Sarpanches are fast a sleep hope CM is awake. School Children and college students too are at risk on this road.
