MARGAO
With no solution in sight and no treatment of waste taking place worth its name, the Sonsodo waste treatment plant on Monday played host to a huge waste mound inside the shed.
In fact, the waste mound has come close to touching the ceiling of the shed with the heavy machinery deployed inside the plant pushing and accumulating the waste to make room for the daily waste.
Thousands of tonnes of waste is accumulated inside the Sonsodo waste treatment plant, with the MMC neither treating the daily waste nor carting away the waste.
Take note, the MMC had floated tenders to rope in a contractor to take up treatment of the daily waste. The civic body had also floated an Expression of Interest to appoint an agency to cart away the accumulated waste and remediate the same outside, but the proposals have not changed the ground reality till date.
In fact, it is feared in the corridors of the civic body that these proposals may remain on paper after the Election Code of Conduct comes into force in the next few days and that the Municipality will have to wait till the election process is complete in completing the tendering process.
