The Goa government will take up road repairs from September 15. Roads battered by rains will be taken up for repairs and those road contracts with three-year warranty period will be repaired by the contractors concerned at their cost. The State Public Works Department (PWD) will undertake temporary repairs as soon as the rains recedes.
The Goa PWD Minister Ramkrishna Dhavalikar said that because roads in Goa regularly get damaged in the rains, the government is considering casting some of the major roads in concrete, and that he has asked the PWD engineers to identify some major roads to be done in concrete. Most of the roads that have gone bad were constructed either in 2011 or before March 2012.
