Untreated sewage water creating a stink in Mapusa

Recently there was a report in a local daily about the sorry state of the famous Cunchelim spring. This beautiful spring has now been contaminated with garbage and rubbish. As you walk down to the famous Mapusa market on the newly slabbed nullah behind the fish market and bordering the government complex, the  nullah stinks due to untreated sewage water. The only thing the MMC officials  and sitting MLA have initiated is the covering of the drain but instead of applying their mind they have left the sewage to flow untreated. The GSPCB is in deep slumber , the sanitary inspector and the health officers are not doing their duty. Our CM has been winning awards after awards for Goa being the best State in India , I wonder if the committee members who decide on these awards have done a proper study during their visits to Goa. I request the MMC, GSPCB and the Health officer to visit the nullah behind the Mapusa market and come up with a solution to install a small sewage treatment plant for making the life of Mapsekars and all the visitors a healthy one and free from stink.
