Daily power cuts leave Salcete’s business owners, tourists in distress

Restauranteurs and small business owners along the Salcete coastal belt are a worried lot, as the daily power cuts they have been enduring over the past week seem to be driving away the few customers that come their way, as the tourist season draws to a close. Since the annual maintenance power shutdown last Sunday, the villages of Benaulim, Colva and Cavelossim have been plagued by power outages every single day, that last from two to four hours at a stretch.
