Residents of Panchbhatt in Maina-Curtorim have threatened of direct action if the authorities, including the local panchayat body, fail to evolve a solution to the garbage problem facing the area.
In fact, a group of citizens led by Joao Rebello has pointed out that garbage is being dumped along the roadside by miscreants along the Fondegal road, demanding whether the authorities, including the panchayat has any solution to the burning issue. “We would like to know from the panchayat whether garbage can be dumped along the roadside and what action the panchayat has to address the situation,” Rebello said.
He feared that the situation at Panchbhat and Fondegal would meet the same fate as that of the local residents of Ramnagiri over the rampant discharge of sewage into the open drains. “We request the authorities, including the panchayat to unveil the plan of action to stop the garbage menace on the Fondegal road. If not, the people will all unite and will come out with a direct action,” he threatened.
