SALIGAO: RDA minister
Jayesh Salgaonkar recently stressed on the need for additional
ferry boats on the Betim-Panaji route. He said he had spoken to the minister concerned to ensure the provision of at least two ferries, especially during rush hours. He also suggested that retired staffers of the river navigation department (RND) be called on duty to help mitigate the impact of the staff crunch that the department is facing.
Members of the Goa Youth Congress had gheraoed RND officials demanding that additional ferries be deployed on the route.
