The situation is reportedly worse after dark, as one side of the stretch lacks adequate street lighting. The poor visibility has raised concerns that people are taking advantage of the darkness to dump waste without being easily noticed.
The garbage menace is also creating an unpleasant approach for visitors travelling towards Colva, one of Goa’s well-known beach destinations.
Residents and commuters have called on the concerned authorities to remove the accumulated waste, provide adequate street lighting and take action against those responsible for illegal dumping.
They have also urged authorities to strengthen monitoring of the stretch to prevent the area from becoming a recurring dumping ground.
