Hi Jerry, Like it or not, if Goa's going to have a 4-Lane Highway, Pollem will have its fair share! Pollem, in Canacona happens to be the southernmost vaddo/wada in Goa through which the present national highway NH-17 passes through. The government plans to upgrade this highway from 2-lane to 4-lane. Pollem is also where we have the check post before crossing into Karnataka. Pollem is a tiny 'not-so-famous' hamlet because it hardly has any 'touristic' interests. It's more popularly known by Karwaris who hop across the border for a quick drink and the many bars that have come up in Pollem due to the price differences of alcohol in Goa and Karnataka. The next time you search for a place, don't ask Lonely Planet, ask a local. :-) Clinton.. Hello Goanetters Where is this place Pollem? I happened to check the lonely planet on Goa for some information about this place, but there wasn’t any information, so if this place is not mentioned on one of the best travel guides of the world, than why this Highway for this place, what will it benefit the rest of the Goans, is the present Government planning to start Industries there where by Goans can get employment? Will it be another investment by our Government for future? The uncertain future? Is it modernizing Pollem after Panjim? Without doing anything good for the rest of Goans?
