NIO COLONY COMPOUND WALL COLLAPSES Attached here please see photographs taken within minutes of the NIO colony wall collapsing due to rains today 18th June 2020. Just two days back I had informed the NIO Institute through our pensioners WhatsApp 'Veterans' group with a photograph of the at-that-time intact wall which is also attached here. I expected some repair work to be done to this wall as Taleigao Panchayat blocked the passage of drain water. Water is draining through the small holes all this time and the major original one made by earlier Civil Engineers is blocked recently by Panchayat. The drain water was flowing through the canal which was available before the bus stand project started coming up. We local residents have objected to this project but somehow it is going on with the help of vested political interest with the support of Taleigao Panchayat and perhaps also MLA of Taleigao. The ill-planned blockage is the reason for this wall collapse. I got to know about the collapse immediately thanks to my neighbour Nelson Cabral. I took the photographs and first thing I informed Dr Kalpana at the NIO colony dispensary and asked her to inform our Director NIO to depute civil engineers to this site to verify the broken soak pit of the septic tank which is near the collapsing wall to get it repaired and modify the plan so that no overflow is passed on the roadside in the future. The matter is most urgent as the load of foul smelling water is passing on the roadside towards Nelson Cabral and the adjacent Bay View Road where I am residing.
