Candolim Sarpanch Fermino Fernandes admitted that most of the wells in Saipem and Orda areas have been contaminated some years back and with the current fire tragedy, the situation has aggravated further.
“We have written to the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) and health authorities to test the air quality and the well water in the village. We are with the villagers and object to the existence of the paint factory. We are all demanding re-location of the company. Very soon we will meet both the Calangute and the Saligao MLAs and handover a memorandum to the Chief Minister,” Fernandes said.
