According to a corporator from the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP), efforts to address the pothole issue through patchwork have proven futile against the persistent rainfall. &#8220;The roads, especially from Patto to Kamat House, are increasingly perilous as the potholes continue to expand,&#8221; stated the CCP official, highlighting the growing safety hazards faced by commuters.<\/p>\n<p>Local residents voiced dissatisfaction with the quality of road reinstatement carried out under Smart City projects, attributing damages to inadequate reinstatement practices following sewerage and drainage works. &#8220;The Smart City contractors have disrupted the existing water drainage system without understanding Ribandar&#8217;s surface contours,&#8221; one resident expressed. &#8220;Roads reinstated post-sewerage works have deteriorated rapidly, leading to waterlogging issues affecting our homes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Concerns were also raised regarding incomplete drainage projects in Patto, where an open drain necessitated traffic control measures due to safety hazards. &#8220;The presence of a drum over the open drain causes traffic disruptions,&#8221; a local resident lamented. In response to escalating complaints, a senior CCP official disclosed that the mayor conducted a joint inspection of Ribandar&#8217;s roads with Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Ltd engineers. Immediate directives were issued to expedite repair works and ensure road safety for commuters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panaji: The deteriorating condition of roads has become a pressing concern, particularly for motorists and two-wheeler riders navigating through numerous<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19655,19580],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
