MARGAO: The words of wisdom by Deputy Chief Minister Vijai Sardesai seem to have reached the Margao Municipal Council as the Chairperson Babita Angle has decided to call for a meeting between Fomento Green and the council to discuss the matter of the growing waste dump at Sonsodo.
It may be recalled that Vijai had reacted very aggressively over the impasse, on the Sonsodo garbage dump, and had called the chairperson, council and chief officer of the MMC useless.
Babita has now informed that they will be holding a joint meeting with Fomento Green officials to discuss on the garbage dump soon.
During the inspection, Vijai had ordered to empty the gully tank at the dump site. The MMC has put in service of a night soil tanker which has begun the work of emptying the same.
“If the water from the dump, if not removed before the monsoons, will overflow and enter the residential areas downhill. Hence, the process to remove the water has been started,” Babita informed.
“The officials of Fomento Green have been called for a meeting so that they present their apprehensions at the meeting and a detailed discussion is held,” she told.
Babita said that the pre-monsoon works are yet to be completed as several staff of the MMC has still not returned from the election duties assigned to them.
“The survey and cleaning of wells will also be taken up. The MMC will also hold a meeting with the councillors to take a real time idea of the works that require attention.”
