Dig roads in North Goa, face punishment
PANAJI: North Goa collector R Menaka on Monday prohibited all road digging and excavations along roads for a period of three months. The order, issued under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, will come into force on May 15, the state government said. The order has been issued in view of the southwest monsoon , which is at Goa’s doorstep.
The move is likely to come as a relief to motorists.

During the three-month period, any digging or cutting of public roads and their shoulders, including all city and village roads, will require prior written permission from the collector.
The order also states that any such digging will immediately be covered within six hours and properly paved or celented within 24 hours.
