Navelim MLA Luizinho Faleiro on Friday again reiterated his demand for a judicial probe into the sewerage works in Navelim constituency to ascertain whether the departments involved in laying the sewerage line has carried out the work in a coordinated manner.
He further said whether the sewerage works in Navelim constituency will be a success or not is a million dollar question, pointing out that the work was carried out by at least three agencies JICA, Sewerage Corporation and PWD, Sewerage without any coordination. “People had seen last year how rain water had entered the sewage chamber, later prompting the departments to pump out the water. Just imagine a situation what would happen if sewage comes out of the underground line,” he said.
The Navelim MLA further raised questions whether the agencies laying the sewage line has laid the lines after taking into account the level, fearing that the sewage might return back to the houses of the people due to lapses.
He was speaking to the media after launching the road hot-mixing works in the Shantinagar areas of Aquem-Baixo village panchayat in Navelim constituency in the presence of Aquem Baixo Sarpanch, Siddesh Bhagat, Navelim Congress Block President Conceissao Piexote and others.
He said only a judicial probe will answer all the questions raised by the people of Navelim on the sewerage works executed in the constituency.
To a question, Faleiro pointed out that the road hot-mixing works has been launched in Aquem-Baixo village panchayat area only after the sewerage department wrote a letter informing about the completion of sewerage works in the village. “Many households have also taken the sewerage connection, but there are still many others who are yet to take the connections,” he said.
