Need to replace defective dustbin

Many commuters wait for buses at the bus-shelter situated in the vicinity of Top Cola factory, Borim in Ponda for proceeding towards Margao, Vasco and Sanvordem.

This makes the bus-shelter look dirty thereby defeating the very basis of ‘Swacch Goa Mission’. In order to assure cleanliness at this strategic bus-shelter, it is the need of the hour for the concerned authorities to replace the defective dustbin with a new one at the earliest so that the waste material dropped here remains intact. 

Let us hope authorities do the needful in the interest of innocent commuters.
