Luckily, the boulder that came down stopped in the road setback area on the Cortalim – Vasco road.
The PWD authorities have excavated the hill portions at several stretches on this road.
The PWD, however, has not built retaining walls. The incident created fear and anger among the road users and other concerned residents of Dabolim
