In a video posted on social media, Pratima said stinking garbage is lying along the Nagmodem, Davorlim and the Housing Board Rumdamol roads in the Navelim Constituency.
She said, “Navelim is facing a tough time in combating garbage, which is seen everywhere by the side of the road. Population growth has coincided with an increase in garbage around the village for the last few years. In the absence of a proper system to deal with it, this issue has been a major headache for the panchayat as well as the residents.”
“The fact that the waste disposal mechanism has not kept pace with the new settlements coming up in the village has further aggravated the problem for the panchayat and the villagers alike,” she added.
