MARGAO
When Chief Minister Pramod Sawant descended at the Margao KTC bus stand during the weekend, to scout for land to host the Viksit Bharat rally in the city, he had to contend with waste and litter at the bus stand.
Accompanied by KTC Chairman, MLA Ulhas Tuemkar and former MLA Damu Naik, the Chief Minister inspected the bus stand to explore the possibility of the bus stand playing host to the Viksit Bharat rally to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, only to come across the waste and litter at the stie.
Sawant was quick to raise a question or two on the waste dumping at the site and even told officers to get the place cleaned up every day.
Sources in the know informed that waste dumping and litter has been rampant at the bus stand.
With no mechanism in place to lift away the waste, the waste is disposed of by burning, sources said.
Officials in the know informed that a system is being evolved wherein the waste generated at the bus stand is collected and disposed of in a scientific manner.
