St. Inez Smart City Project Delays DB Road Desilting

The Smart City project at St. Inez, Goa, has encountered delays in the desilting process along DB Road. This setback has disrupted the planned schedule for infrastructure improvements aimed at enhancing civic amenities and urban development in the area.

The desilting work along DB Road, crucial for maintaining drainage efficiency and preventing water logging during monsoon seasons, is now behind schedule. The delay raises concerns among residents and local authorities about potential impacts on public safety and infrastructure reliability.

Initiated under the Smart City mission, the project aims to transform St. Inez into a modern, sustainable urban centre equipped with advanced infrastructure and enhanced public services. The delay in desilting highlights the challenges faced in executing comprehensive urban development initiatives within designated timelines.

Efforts are underway to expedite the desilting process and mitigate any further disruptions to the Smart City project's implementation schedule. Local officials and stakeholders are closely monitoring the situation to ensure timely completion of essential infrastructure upgrades and minimise inconvenience to residents.
