Panjim's Smart City works drag on

ANOTHER DEADLINE

Panjim's Smart City works continue even as the deadline of March 31, 2025, nears.

SLOW PROGRESS

Deadline after deadline has come and gone without tangible results, with Panjim’s Smart City dream before the monsoon season slowly slipping into an elusive mirage.

LOST MOMENTUM

Roads remain half-dug, traffic snarls continue to choke central Panjim, and pedestrians are forced to navigate through chaotic construction zones.

DISAPPOINTMENT

Despite assurances from authorities and project heads, residents are still waiting for the project to come to fruition.

CITY IN LIMBO

The repeated delays are not just a matter of inconvenience—they are a sign of a larger issue plaguing the project.

ONGOING CHAOS

A swift and focused effort to finish the necessary upgrades is missing and there is a lack of urgency and accountability.

NO APPEAL

The constant construction has rendered once scenic streets unappealing, and visitors are left with a less-than-ideal impression of the city.
