Village Panchayat responds
Vis a vis a post published in The Goan about safety of commuters and pedestrians due to dagerously tilting trees authorities are shifting responsibilities In the past it was just providence and luck that falling ,uprooting crashing against trees between st sebastian Chapel and dandeavaddo did not cause any loss of life The acquistion was done for two lanes in 1988 and two lane expansion was completed The acquired old trees are still obstruction vision of motorist and are a threat too The PWD has ignored regd letters to that effect. Electricity Dept too is playing hide and seek ,deflecting responsibility by passing on the. buck as electrocution can aggravate matters The Panchayat explains of efforts made but in vain. The trees were marked, dissater Management body was kept in loop, permission sought from environmental body and forest dept has lapsed due to non conpoetation of bodies concerned Some old trees are dangerously tilting and may cause damage to life and vehicles.
