21 year old Nimesh Kholkar is the latest casualty of the treacherous Ribandar – Panaji road. The stretch of road from the Goa Institute of Management right to Panaji is in a pathetic state. The potholes are countless. The repairs over the years have been sub-standard. PWD Minister Churchill Alemao recently visited Ribandar and saw for himself the awful state of the road.
The reckless speeding and overtaking by buses on this road especially on the Ribandar – Panaji causeway is a matter of great concern. While buses race, precious lives are being lost. Overtaking is officially prohibited on this stretch of the road, yet the transport and traffic authorities continue to turn a blind eye. How many more lives will have to be lost before the authorities awaken? Will they finally act only after one of their family members fall under the wheel?
