Gram sabha members strongly objected to the NOC granted for a housing project at Bonxar-Orgao with a member alleging that the builder has been moving file for construction piece meal having already constructed two such projects without proper garbage disposal. Villager Papan Prabhakar questioned as to why the builder has been moving file for individual building when the project is mega project which would cause garbage problem for village. It was also pointed out by the panchayat member Custodio Fernandes that projects put up by the builder in village earlier were not having garbage disposal site and causing problem to locals. Franky Monteiro suggested that the builder be directed to have a proper composting site at his project.
