Neglected, Goa's ferry ramps on shaky ground
The Free Press Journal|September 19, 2024
Barely three months ago, around 100 passengers were stranded when a ferry boat from Panaji to Betim ran aground on the banks of the Mandovi River due to low water levels.

The rescue operation stretched over six hours and while this was the situation at the ferry wharf where the infrastructure is said to be "adequate," Goa has six other ferry ramps left in complete disrepair for more than six years.

The reason: Alleged neglect by the Public Works Department (PWD), which has repeatedly ignored urgent repair requests and reminders from the River Navigation Department (RND).
