MARGAO, JAN 21
Margao Municipal Council Chairperson Sushila Naik made her presence felt at the Gandhi Market on Friday noon after ward Councillor Rosy Pereira complained of waste problem in the market area.
The Chairperson was greeted by mounds of waste in the Gandhi Market, with locals complaining of unsanitary and unhygienic conditions prevailing in the market for want of timely removal of the garbage.
This is the first time that the Chairperson has paid a visit to the Gandhi Market after taking over the reigns of office in November.
While the municipal sanitary officer contended that waste is regularly collected and disposed off from the market, the locals called for putting a system in place to take care of the waste generated throughout the day.
Sushila told Herald after the inspection that the civic body would try to put a mechanism in place to take care of the waste. “It’s not that waste is not collected from the market, but we have to find a solution how to take care of the mounds of waste generated throughout the day”, she added.
