Exam-focused facts from the 23 February 2026 current affairs briefing.

Key facts

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant laid the foundation stone for a new two-lane bridge connecting Davem and Sanvordem villages in Sattari.
The project, valued at ₹29.9 crore, is being executed by the Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation (GSIDC) for the Public Works Department (PWD).
The infrastructure will feature a two-lane bridge with footpaths on both sides and includes the construction of approach roads.
The new bridge will replace an existing narrow single-lane bridge, reducing travel distance by 7–8 km for commuters travelling towards Ponda and South Goa.
The project is designed to ease traffic congestion by allowing motorists to bypass the Valpoi market, saving time and fuel.
