PANJIM: Following directives from the
High Court, Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) has called for a hearing
of the panchayat of Anjuna-Caisua, Directorate of Panchayats and the petitioner
to work out ad hoc measures to ensure that the panchayat carries out
collection, segregation and disposal of garbage scientifically.
A division bench of the High Court of
Bombay at Goa, comprising Justice C V Bhadang and Justice F M Reis, in an order
last week observed that the directions issued by the Court on August 13, 2015
for disposing of garbage of Anjuna are not being complied with and hence
directed GSPCB to look into the matter.

garbage. “We would also issue them a series of directions on collection and
treatment of dry and wet waste,” he said.
