MMC showing no haste in desilting nullahs!
HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, MAY 22
The fast approaching monsoons seems to have not made the Margao Municipal Council to show any haste in the desilting of the water nullahs in the Commercial Capital.
Almost all the major nullahs – which drain off surface water into the River Sal – are awaiting desilting by the Civic body. The Margao Municipal Council says that the Civic body has already asked the water Resources department to take up the desilting work at the earliest, but the ground reality speaks otherwise.
A visit to the main nullahs at Old Market and the SGPDA market revealed that the desilting work is yet to commence till date. That’s not all. The water nullah passing by the SGPDA market is literally covered with weeds and grass – a fact that has not spurred the Civic body to undertake the work expeditiously.
The water nullah at Old market is no better either, with the water channel emitting foul odour due to the stinking conditions.
