Ponda Underpass Work Resumes After Gas Pipeline Shift
Imagine a road going under another road, like a tunnel.
They started building one in Ponda, but a gas pipe was in the way.
They had to move the pipe first, which took some time.
The company that supplies gas finally moved their pipe.
Now, the road builders are back at work, and they are in a hurry.
Finishing this under-road passage is important.
Once done, they can make the highway wider between certain villages.
It is like finishing one step before moving on to the next bigger task.
Ponda KTC underpass road work has resumed.
The work was delayed due to a gas pipeline obstruction.
Goa Natural Gas company shifted the pipeline recently.
A mud wall protected the pipeline during the work.
The underpass completion is key for highway widening.
