The quality of the smart city work is horrible. It has been going on for two years and people are fed up. We are the most fed up. We want them out of the city as soon as possible. IPSCDL failed to supervise the works that have been executed across Panaji as many of the projects have fallen into disrepair. If you walk through some of the areas, the pavers have already fallen apart. I have not seen anyone from smart city monitoring. The smart city should conduct a survey once every 10 days or once every 15 days. It is a failure on the smart city’s part. They should deploy their engineers once every five days or so to do an overall audit of what has been done. The moment they do not do something, it is we who have to respond to the calls. It is a waste of our time and everyone’s time. Now, 18th June Road was supposed to be part of their work, but they are not doing it now. We have to check the damage that has been done. CCP has been following up on complaints raised by residents and commuters by “forcing” IPSCDL officials to resolve the issues. We don’t want to wait for the monsoons to come and then start addressing the issues. It has gone on long enough, it must come to an end. We just want their contractors to wrap up their work and leave….
