Velim MLA Cruz Silva on Friday called on the South Goa district Collector, Jyoti Kumari with a plea to hold a joint inspection of the scrapyards in the Nessai industrial estate as well as the scrapyards at Menezes Bhat in Sao Jose de Areal village.
In the memorandum submitted to the district Collector, the Velim MLA drew attention of the district authorities to the joint inspection carried out of the scrapyards in Sao Jose de Areal at the Nessai Industrial Estate along with the health officials of Curtorim Primary Health Centre and the IDC officials.
It was further pointed out that the inspection found scrap spilled over into the open space and road side gutters, offering the perfect site for the breeding of mosquitoes.
The MLA has raised concern that the scrapyards may turn out the breeding sites for mosquitoes in the ensuing monsoons.
