There is a mound of garbage strewn by motorists and passersby on the busy Abade Faria Road, Margao adjacent to South Indian Bank and in close proximity of Lawrence and Mayo opticians. If timely action is not initiated, it may snowball into a mini Sonsodo in the making.
The size of the dump keeps growing by the day and to add to the misery the stray dogs and cattle prey on the waste and scatter the filth across the road giving it an obnoxious stench to the neighbourhood which boasts of commercial and residential houses.

The Margao Municipal Council vehicle turns a Nelson eye to the dump and just fleets-by without picking-up the garbage.
This sickening matter was brought to the notice of the assigned municipal councillor of Ward No.12 with a request to take up the issue with the chairperson, but the buck was passed to the residents to approach the MMC. Needless, to mention here that, the municipality collects garbage tax from both the residents and from commercial establishments in the historic Abade Faria Road.
In this COVID related pandemic times, it is of paramount importance to maintain a high sense of hygiene and cleanliness and it is in this endeavour that the MMC in coordination with the assigned councillor resolve the issue before the dump turns into a mini Sonsodo.
