The Mormugao Municipal Council ( MMC) on Saturday cleared the area near Rukmini Building Baina and collected all the dry leaves and cut branches of a tree that were dumped after the weak tree was trimmed on last Sunday.
The dry leaves and cut branches had caught fire on Wednesday evening speeding anger amongst the Residents of Baina who had complained that MMC had not cleared the area despite several reminders.
The Goan had highlighted the story and reported about the dry leaves left behind by MMC labours catching fire. Citizens had appealed to the MMC to immidiately clear the area and dispose the leaves and branches of tree cut during pre monsoon works in the city.
Taking Cognizance of the Goan report, and reacting to the criticism by residents, MMC finally cleared the area and took away the dry leaves and cut branches.
It may be recalled that after a request made to the Dy Collector by Residents of Baina to trim a weak tree, MMC had cut the weak branches of a tree but left behind the dry leaves and branches behind assuring to clear on Monday .
However MMC labours never returned again and a fire incident was reported on Wednesday evening after the dry leaves caught fire.
Residents had later sharply criticised the MMC staff of dumping leaves and branches at various locations in Vasco and the Chief officer Agnelo Fernandes had assured to clear the areas of leaves and branches immediately.
