MARGAO
Curtorim panchayat on Sunday has decided to offer all support to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to resolve the Sonsodo waste imbroglio in a scientific manner.
The panchayat further asserted that the Margao Municipal Council should accept the waste from Curtorim village, saying the panchayat is ready to hand over only segregated waste to the civic body.
After the gram sabha transacted the business on the agenda on Sunday, Curtorim Sarpanch Rui Menezes briefed the panchayat members over the discussions he and Curtorim Zilla Panchayat member Moreno Rebelo had with the Chief Minister after last week’s Sonsodo fire.
The sarpanch informed that after they drew the attention of the Chief Minister to the pollution faced by the people of Maina-Curtorim after the recent fire incident, Sawant promised to clear the dump within two years. After much discussion, the sarpanch said the panchayat has decided to support the CM in his endeavour to rid Sonsodo of the waste. Rui later told the media that the panchayat would offer all out support to the CM.
