Panaji, 29 August 2026: The Goa Pradesh Youth Congress today launched “Selfie with Khod’do 2.0”, a public participation campaign aimed at highlighting the growing pothole menace across Goa and drawing attention to the government’s failure to maintain the state’s roads.
Under the campaign, citizens are invited to spot a pothole, click a creative photograph and submit it along with its GPS location. The initiative seeks to turn public frustration into constructive citizen participation and make the authorities take note of dangerous road conditions.
The campaign carries cash prizes worth ₹50,000, with:
* 🥇 1st Prize – ₹20,000
* 🥈 2nd Prize – ₹15,000
* 🥉 3rd Prize – ₹10,000
* 4th Prize – ₹5,000
Speaking at the launch, Goa Pradesh Youth Congress President Adv. Archit Naik said that when the government fails to fix potholes, citizens should not remain silent. “Goans are paying taxes for good roads, not for potholes. Through ‘Selfie with Khod’do 2.0’, we want citizens to document the reality on the ground and hold the government accountable,” he said.
The campaign is open to the people of Goa. Participants can submit their full name, mobile number, residential address, photograph of the pothole and GPS location through the designated WhatsApp number 9766280776 or via Instagram @iycgoa.
The last date for submission is 7th September 2026, up to 5:00 PM.
