Tech review: the compact camera newsrooms actually carry is the story the coastal desk has been following through sources in government, the harbour and neighbourhood wards.
Reporters spent the day speaking with residents, officials and business owners. What follows is what we can verify now, and what remains in dispute.
What we know
Officials confirmed the outline of the situation late this afternoon. Independent accounts from the waterfront broadly match the first government briefing, with important differences on timing.
“Local news is how a place talks to itself,” a resident in Fontainhas told our reporter.
Why it matters
For a small coastal state, the stakes are practical: livelihoods, monsoon safety, and how public money is spent. We will update this report as documents and on-record comments arrive.
