MARGAO, OCT 31
Sewage disposal by a starred hotel into the open figured at the gram sabha meeting of the village Panchayat of Majorda-Utorda-Calata on Sunday.
Gram sabha members demanded to know from the Sarpanch Visitation D’Silva the action taken report by Panchayat body against the starred hotel and the status of the nuisance caused by the discharge of sewage.
The Sarpanch replied to the members that the Panchayat had written to the Goa Pollution Control Board to submit a copy of the inspection report.
After much discussion, the Sarpanch said the Panchayat would seek a reply from the starred hotel on the waste disposal and the measures adopted by the hotel to treat sewage waste.
In another resolution, the gram sabha complimented the village Sarpanch Visitation D’Silva for cracking a whip against Lamanis on the Majorda-Utorda beach. During discussions, the sarpanch expressed her resolve to continue cracking the whip against the Lamanis.
In this connection, the Sarpanch said that some miscreants, who were sore over the action initiated against the Lamanis, dumped waste collected by the Panchayat body. She said the miscreants unloaded the waste collected behind the panchayat ghar, right at the entrance in the wee hours of Sunday, but was later cleared by the Panchayat.
The question of beach management also came up for discussion during the meeting, with the Sarpanch briefing the members about the assurance given by Minister for Water Resources Filipe Neri Rodrigues on the inclusion of Majorda-Utorda beach in the beach management plan.
