PANJIM: The High Court of Bombay at Goa on Wednesday reminded the Goa government that it had enough powers to act against Panchayats and Municipalities that are defaulting in complying with directions issued on collection and disposal of garbage.
The Court observations came while hearing the contempt petition filed by advocate Aires Rodrigues over the inaction of the authorities on the continued dumping of debris and garbage along the Panjim-Old Goa bypass road. The Court is hearing all the garbage related petitions together.
The court adjourned the hearing by three weeks after directing the secretaries of the North and South Goa District Legal Services Authority to submit a detailed report on the factual position relating to garbage in the various Panchayats and Municipalities across Goa.
