All road digging activities must end by May 15: North Collector
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The North Goa Collector Nikhil Kumar on Tuesday who chaired a meeting on pre-monsoonal preparedness, has issued strict instructions that all road digging activity should end by May 15 and that all departments would have to gear up to face any monsoon-related emergency.
Control rooms will be set up not only at the district level but also at taluka level, it was decided. Forest department has been asked to expedite its licensing process for pruning of trees which are posing a danger to pedestrians and motorists
The collector has also asked the authorities that road digging should end by May 15 and that the debris should be cleared by May 21.
Civic bodies have also been asked to undertake desilting of nullahs.
Electricity Department has been asked to put in place special teams to attend to breakdowns in monsoons. Besides, every department has been instructed to appoint a nodal officer at taluka and district level in case of any emergency.
Fire Services have been on the receiving end since the squall that hit Goa last week. They not only have been attending to calls of uprooting of trees but firemen have had to lift and remove the tree debris. In view of this, Kumar who has recently taken over as the district collector has asked the PWD to provide 5-7 persons to assist the fire services.
Even the telecom authorities have been requested to ensure that the phone lines of nodal officers are repaired. ---------------------------------- HERALD 27/4/05 page 3 --------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOA CIVIC AND CONSUMER ACTION NETWORK --------------------------------------------------------------------------- an initiative of GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE to promote civic and consumer rights in Goa --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOACAN Post Box 78 Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 2252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goacan.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
