PWD asked to install pumps to address waterlogging at Seraulim underpass

A joint inspection of the Seraulim road underpass has revealed that water is entering its way into the subway from multiple sources, leaving the motorable road inundated with water even after the monsoons.

As a temporary solution, the Public Works Department (PWD) has been told to install water pumps at the subway to drain out the water to make the best use of the underpass for vehicular traffic at least during the non-monsoon season.

The Goan had on Tuesday, November 5 highlighted the sorry state of the Seraulim subway, with the underpass, which was shut down by a notification issued by the district Collector as a temporary measure, having virtually become a permanent feature at the site. A visibly agitated Benaulim MLA Venzy Viegas has termed the Seraulim road underpass a failed project, saying no proper technical study was conducted.
