The Cuncolim Municipal Council has decided to rope in environmentalist Clinton Vaz and activist Lorna Fernandes to streamline and tone up the infrastructure at the waste treatment plant set up near the Cuncolim Industrial Estate.
The decision was taken by Chairperson Lavita Mascarenhas and vice-chairperson as the duo have decided to personally monitor the functioning of the treatment plant on a day-to-day basis. “Clinton being the son of Cuncolim, he has agreed to assist the Cuncolim civic body in overcoming the problems plaguing the waste treatment plant. Similarly, Lorna being a local villager has volunteered to give her expertise in waste treatment," informed vice-chairperson Mario Moraes.
He said the duo will actively support the civic body in closely monitoring the situation at the waste treatment plant for the first 100 days as per the programme chalked out by the body. Depending upon the situation, the Council will have to then take a call whether to engage Clinton as the consultant for the civic body on waste treatment," he said.
Meanwhile, the Cuncolim civic body has solicited cooperation from the people for its cleanliness and beautification drive in the town beginning from December 1, as part of Swachh Bharat Mission. Moraes said the civic body has procured the lamps and the RCC slabs to illuminate the stretch of the road in the heart of the town and to replace all broken slabs along the stretch. He further said the civic body will whitewash the road stretch between Culvaaddo to Raghoba Dessai house and the Palki road, besides the stretch of the highway from the bus stand to the Khope shop and the internal road leading to the market via the St Francis Xavier chapel.
