Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday alleged that government is trying to hide the substandard work of the Saligao garbage treatment plant and
trying to pump in more money in the name of upgraduation of the capacity
of the plant.
It may recalled that the Saligao treatment plant was built three years ago to cater
to 100 tonnes of waste. Since incidents of foul smell are being reported, the government has analysed
the reason as the plant is overloaded.
Garbage minister Michael Lobo has announced that there is proposal for the upgradation of the
plant to 250 tonnes. AAP leaders have opposed the Lobo’s decision.
“The government is trying to upgrade the capacity of the plant by violating the original contract terms,” said Mario Cordeiro.
