OLD GOA
A garbage crisis looms large in Chimbel as the panchayat has stopped its door-to-door collection drive since the past two days. According to a source, the drive was stopped as Saligao waste plant has stopped accepting its waste, both wet and dry. “Even the Verna plant has stopped accepting dry waste,” the source added.
The dry waste which has been stored at the waste sorting centre at Indira Nagar, is nearly full and panchayat authorities are all at sea in dealing with the situation.
Chimbel Sarpanch Chandrakant Kunkolkar said he is seized of the situation and is looking out for an alternate solution. However, an early solution is unlikely as the panchayat does not have its own garbage site.
