Kemmannu, March 2, 2018: Minister for Fisheries, Sports and Youth affairs minister Mr. Pramod Madhwaraj visited Kemmannu to take firsthand look and inspect the progress of the road widening project. The minister was happy that good progress has been made within the last couple of weeks and assured his support.

The minister personally met few of the building owners who have whole heartedly supported by agreeing to dismantle part of their buildings. He was accompanied by local leaders Mrs. Veronica Cornelio, the driving force behind the project, Kemmannu Panchayat President Mrs. Fauzia Sadiq, Mr. Rahamathulla Thonse, Mr. Gururaj Bhat, Mrs. Sulochana, Ex Panchayat member and man of the moment Mr. Arun Fernandes, Civil work Contractor Mr. Archibald Menezes and other leaders and Panchayat Members.

The road widening work is progressing well with about 50% of the work completed so far. Majority of the shop owners have voluntarily agreed to prune the part of their building, however, a few are still undecided about their willingness. Local leaders are hopeful that ultimately all will co operate and the project will be completed within a couple of months.

Mr. Pramod Madhwaraj thanked Mrs. Jessy D’souza for willingly demolishing her compound wall and re-building by her own.
