PWD Under Fire for Lapses in Road Maintenance: Morjim Citizens Demand Action
Morjim: A recent string of accidents on Morjim’s potholed roads has sparked intense debate, with citizens demanding immediate action from the Public Works Department (PWD) to rectify the situation. The controversy began after a vehicle fell into a ditch, raising concerns about the department’s efficiency in maintaining infrastructure.
Locals are up in arms, criticizing the PWD’s lack of proactive measures and questioning the role of department engineers.
“We’re tired of waiting for the PWD to take action. The roads are in a terrible state, and it’s only a matter of time before a major accident occurs,” said a Morjim resident. Citizens are demanding that the PWD repair potholed roads, implement effective accident prevention measures, and provide compensation for damages caused by negligence.
Responding to the criticism, PWD officials acknowledged the challenges they face in maintaining infrastructure.
“We are doing our best to address the issue, but the reality is that we have limited resources and a massive workload,” said a senior PWD official. The department has cited technical challenges and the need for additional precautions in handling crucial infrastructure projects as reasons for the delay.
While the PWD asses that road safety is a shared responsibility, citizens argue that the department’s lack of accountability and transparency exacerbates the problem. “It’s not just about road safety; it’s about the PWD’s willingness to take responsibility for their actions,” said a local leader.
As the situation stands, the PWD is under pressure to deliver results and ensure the safety of Morjim’s citizens. Whether the department can rise to the challenge remains to be seen.
