●CCP Mayor Rohit Monserrate Explains Delay●
The Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) has commenced the removal of the corroded footbridge, which posed a safety risk to school students and commuters. CCP Mayor Rohit Monserrate attributed the delay in addressing the issue to lengthy procedures and the necessity of a stability report. With the dismantling now underway, a contractor has been hired to minimize disruptions to the school. The project is expected to be completed within two days, with a provisional budget of Rs 10 lakhs.
Traffic PI Chetan informed that vehicles heading to Dona Paula will be rerouted via Tonca, while traffic from Dona Paula will be diverted at the Science Centre. Harddha Mandir School Principal Sharmila Umesh expressed relief at the removal of the bridge.
