PANJIM: A Division Bench of the High Court of Bombay at Goa comprising Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice Prithviraj Chavan on Monday asked the State government to set up an online app so people could complain with photographs against illegal dumping of garbage and debris in fields.
The court directions came while hearing a contempt petition filed by Adv Aires Rodrigues over inaction of the authorities to the continued dumping of debris and garbage along the Panjim-Old Goa bypass. The Advocate General sought further time to file the report of Old Goa Police on the illegal land filling along the Ribandar-Merces Road, which was directed by the High Court at the last hearing.
Rodrigues submitted to the Court that in violation of law, business establishments, shops and huts have been set up by illegally filling the fields with construction debris and garbage while the authorities have been looking the other way.
