Dumping of garbage in open spaces, cleaning of gutters before the arrival of monsoon, deputation of traffic police at zebra crossing near Clergy Home traffic signal and creating awareness on malaria in the panchayat areas were among some of the issues discussed at Succor gram sabha on Sunday.
Mahindra Kenaudekar raised concern at the way people were dumping garbage in open places in Succor and called for some concrete measures from the panchayat to deal with the problem.
The sarpanch, Sandeep Vazarkar, replied by stating that dumping of garbage in open spaces was on the rise in Succor. “Some people after consuming liquor are throwing empty bottles in the premises of Succor panchayat at night. If someone is caught doing this, people should catch the person and hand him over to the police. If they see bottles being thrown out of vehicles, people should note down the number and inform the panchayat or police. The panchayat on its part has decided to install CCTV cameras at strategic locations at Succor to curb the dumping of garbage in open areas,” Vazarkar said.
Efa Vaz mentioned that on June 5, 2018, which is Environment Day, the panchayat should undertake planting of saplings in each ward. “In order to curb breeding of mosquitoes, the panchayat should drop special kind of fish in the wells which is available at government health centres. The panchayat should also conduct a survey to find out the number of senior citizens residing alone in their houses in Succor,” Vaz suggested.
Mathew Estrocio urged the panchayat to clean gutters and nullahs before the onset of monsoon.
Vazarkar replied that panchas have taken the responsibility of cleaning the gutters and nullahs in their respective wards. “The panchayat in association with the officials of primary health centre will create awareness about malaria and dengue among residents of Succor,” Vazarkar informed. The panchayat secretary Avinash Palni presented the statement of income and expenditure of the pannchayat for the year 2017-18.
Earlier, the sarpanch Vazarkar welcomed the gathering.
