Minister of Waste Management Babush Monserrate refuted the claims of Saligao locals that the Saligao treatment plant is stinking.
"In fact all the people including all 40 MLA's should visit the Saligao waste treatment plant to come out of misconception about the plant", said Monserrate
People must not oppose these plants as it is better to have a plant than to dump waste in the area, he added.
Monserrate said that he will solve the waste management issue during his tenure itself.
"I will solve waste management issues of Goa during my tenure as minister," said Monserrate adding that he will see that all waste treatment plants are completed.
Monserrate who is also an Minister of Labour and Revenue said that a decision to increase the minimum wages of skilled and unskilled workers will be taken in the next week.
The minimum wages have not been increased for the past six years.
