Take up desilting of Sal, AAP tells Goa government

PANAJI: AAP youth wing has requested the government to take up the matter of desilting River Sal on priority considering the monsoons are a few days away.

The party stated that the Goa administration is unprepared for the impending monsoon with clogged drains, water-logging and muddy roads.

"The government has failed to carry out desilting of River Sal and other water bodies to avoid floods in different parts of Salcete," stated national vice-president AAP youth wing, Siddesh Bhagat.

Silt gets accumulated in canals resulting in flooding in nearby villages, and if desilting is not done on time, this year will be proven disastrous, Bhagat said.

The party called for a policy framework on monsoon and accountability to be fixed.
