MARGAO
Margao Municipal officials and staff fanned out to various areas late Monday evening to rein in miscreants dumping waste in the city.
Senior officials, including municipal engineer Dipak Desai and his team, besides the sanitary inspector and the market inspectors all descended on the ground to intercept the garbage coming into the city from the villages.
Around five teams were constituted by the municipal engineer as they went about maintaining vigil at the black spots across the city.
What made the civic officials maintain vigil at the black spots was the fact that garbage has been dumped at around 58 spots across the city, with waste coming into the commercial capital from the outskirts.
Municipal engineer Desai said the teams have intercepted individuals trying to dispose of the garbage. “We will come to know the exact number of persons caught red-handed while disposing of the waste tomorrow after the teams submit the list of fines issued to the violators,” he said.
