Citizens' group paints speed breakers, earns Gadkari's praise

In a move aimed at reducing road accidents, a citizens' group in Goa has so far painted over 130 speed breakers in the state in white colour to increase their visibility, which has earned praise from Union minister Nitin Gadkari.

The group has been carrying out this activity under the #RostoGoa campaign.

Activist Cecille Rodrigues, who is leading the campaign, said, "The speed breakers had turned blind spots, causing road accidents. The RostoGoa initiative began from my own Taleigao constituency and spread to other areas, including Calangute, Baga which are prominent tourist spots."
