Regarding concerns about water wastage, Rodrigues clarified that most of the water being pumped out during dewatering was necessary for construction work and not wastage. He emphasised the importance of proper drainage systems in Smart City projects to prevent flooding during monsoon showers.

Rodrigues also addressed criticisms regarding the placement of water pipelines, stating that proper care had been taken to ensure separation from sewage chambers. Despite challenges and criticisms, Rodrigues reaffirmed his commitment to completing the project by the deadline, with a possible slight extension if necessary.
