VASCO: Three bikes were damaged in a landslide which was reported along the road leading to ferry point near the Cortalim junction circle on Thursday.
The two-wheelers which got buried in the rubble were recovered using an earth moving machine.
According to Cortalim MLA Anton Vas, the landslide occurred because there was soft mud. He said the area needs a retaining wall along the 500 metres stretch.
"I had raised this issue in the previous assembly session as well. In fact I had proposed the retaining walls for this area and Sontrant area which are both landslide-prone areas. The proposal was put forth and I had even informed the PWD department about the urgency of the retaining wall," Vas said.
He said the stretch of the route has become very dangerous because the small stones were rolling down.
The MLA urged the people not to park their bikes in the area and also not to use the road at least till the end of monsoons.
“We are also directing the authorities to immediately close the road for public use till the end of monsoon. The people moving through this road towards the ferry point can use the alternative route available,” Vas said.
