Panaji: Digging roads in North Goa will attract punishment


Daijiworld Media Network – Panaji

Panaji, May 14: R Menaka, North Goa collector, prohibited all road digging and excavations along roads for a period of three months, on Monday, May 13.

The decision is likely to come as a relief to motorists. The ban on digging will apply to private agencies, government departments and semi-government undertakings. It also applies to civic bodies. During the three-month period, any digging or cutting of public roads and their shoulders, including all city and village roads, will require prior written permission from the collector.

The order also states that any such digging will immediately be covered within six hours and properly paved or celented within 24 hours.

The order, issued under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, will come into force on May 15, the state government said. The order has been issued in view of the southwest monsoon, which is at Goa’s doorstep.
