“Damaged swings because of the rain”
Nearby, the main topics are a blend of concerns and positive developments. There are issues with public amenity maintenance, specifically damaged swings due to heavy rains affecting residents' leisure. Additionally, public transport accessibility and affordability are major concerns in Goa and Panjim, with expensive local taxis limiting travel options. Residents also note a difficulty in finding skilled local technicians like carpenters and plumbers 🛠️. On a brighter note, there's immense satisfaction with the new Goa coastal highway 🛣️, which has dramatically shortened travel times to the airport. The community also appreciates cultural events, such as an excellent exhibition on climate change solutions 💡, and there are constructive suggestions regarding consistent residency requirements to recognize contributors to the state's development.
