Curchorem – The main roads in Curchorem have been in a dangerous state for several months, with large potholes forcing local residents to travel at great risk every day. Schoolchildren, ambulances, two-wheeler riders, and motorists are all facing severe difficulties due to the poor condition of the road.
Following the monsoon, both the number and depth of potholes have increased, with mud accumulation making the roads slippery and further raising the risk of accidents. While traffic police are deployed to enforce traffic rules, AAP workers questioned who would take responsibility for accidents caused by bad roads.
They further pointed out that crores of rupees are spent on road repairs every year, yet the situation remains the same. During the signature campaign, motorists expressed strong support for the protest. “If the government’s intentions are genuine, providing safe roads is not difficult. Politicians often use heavy rains as an excuse for bad roads, but the real reason is ‘heavy corruption,’” said AAP members in a sharp criticism.
The local leadership warned that if repair works are not started within the next few days, the agitation will be intensified. Large numbers of residents, including women, participated in the protest, raising slogans against the administration.
