Cuncolim police is investigating into the claim made by residents of Cuncolim that a prestigious educational institute is involved in dumping its waste outside.
They also pointed out that the waste transported in a van is posing nuisance and a health hazard for the residents.
The police intervened after the residents stopped the van carrying the waste in drums for disposal.
Cuncolim police station in-charge, PI Diogo Gracias, however, said the educational institute has insisted that they are carrying the waste for disposal in their own property for treatment and to convert the same into manure.
He, however, told the representatives of the institute that enough care should be taken to ensure that no nuisance is posed to the residents while transporting the waste to its property for disposal.
