A growing mound of garbage along the Morjim-Chapora river and beach has sparked concern among residents and tourists alike. The accumulated waste, left unattended for days, has turned the scenic stretch into an eyesore and raised serious environmental red flags.
Locals warn that the neglected trash poses a direct threat to marine life, coastal biodiversity, and the overall health of the river and shoreline. The situation has also dampened the experience for visitors, many of whom are drawn to Morjim for its natural beauty and tranquil setting.
Environmentalists have called for immediate cleanup efforts and stricter waste management enforcement to prevent long-term ecological damage and restore the area’s appeal.
