We cannot afford to lower our guard on the vexed issue, which has been creating anxiety in the minds of residents of the entire Curtorim constituency”.
“Surrounding villages and towns like Macasana, Sao Jose de Areal, parts of Fatorda and Margao are facing air and ground water pollution and nuisance to the public by the Sonsoddo garbage dump,” Reginaldo informed.
“Concurrently, I would like to remind that the populace in and around Sonsoddo garbage dump is dejected and frustrated a lot as their health is severely affected by the poisonous smoke billowing from now and then fires at the aforesaid site,” he claimed.
