One of the important topic is mangroves, which are seen all over the state of Goa. They are mostly seen on Mandovi, Zuari rivers and their tributaries in North Goa and Sal river in South Goa. The main motive behind creating mangroves boardwalk Panjim was to ensure that people become aware of how important mangroves are to environment.  They play an important role in protecting the coastal ecosystem from heavy floods and damage, which many of us are unaware of.

One of the recently constructed bridge is Atal setu, the third Mandovi Bridge. It was inaugurated in January 2019 by the honorable chief minister late Manohar Parrikar.  Its a cable bridge that runs from Panjim to Porvorim. The bridge is 5 Km long, which makes it the third longest cable bridge in whole India.

The cable bridge has special LED emitting lights that operate in a linear motion. The different eye catchy colors  emitted by the LED are very attractive. At night  view with the reflection of these lights in Man...
