Dr. Chandrakant Shetye, the MLA of Bicholim, recently highlighted the importance of IT data collection at the Bicholim Bus Stand. As part of ongoing efforts to improve public services and infrastructure, the data collection initiative aims to enhance local transportation services, streamline traffic management, and gather valuable data for planning better urban infrastructure in the region. This move aligns with the government’s larger strategy to modernize Goa’s infrastructure, including road development projects such as the Assonora bypass, which promises to ease traffic flow and improve connectivity between Bardez and Bicholim.

Shetye has been active in championing local projects that address community needs. His efforts, alongside other governmental initiatives like waste processing plants and health center expansions, aim to bolster the quality of life for local residents. These infrastructural improvements are expected to drive both regional growth and sustainability​.
