MARGAO: BJP Spokesperson Savio Rodrigues said that the preventing the Sewage Treatment Plant from causing the contamination of River Sal at the source is the only solution to permanently stop the river from getting polluted. Rodrigues said that many people are focused on the existing pollution, but fail to focus on the persistent contamination.
“The pollution of River Sal can be contained and contamination of the water treated. First treat the source of the pollution that flows into the water. Then treat the pollution in the water. You can treat the water but if the source of contamination continues, the water will continue to get polluted even after cleaning,” he stated.
He said the current STP is inadequate to deal with the water pollution concerns. The government must build more STPs after identifying the sources of pollution.
