We have recently caught a tempo that was dumping garbage and debris in the open land of Cortalim comunidade at night . The garbage that is dumped flows in the fields and causes several hardships to farmers who hesitate to go into the fields and I will also take up this issue in the assembly session " said Vas.

We saw that a large number of people gathered here and I want that the residents should grow the plants in their plots or in their gardens and nurture them properly so that the natural habitat is preserved for the future generation. I also appeal the people to stop cutting trees and grow more trees at sites which have seen cutting of trees, so that our environment is protected. Around 1,000 fruit bearing saplings viz. Coconuts, mangoes, arecanuts, cashews, guavas, neem, pineapples have been distributed to the people of Cortalim constituency during the function," said Vas.
