the place dirty by throwing garbage around, they throw the plastic bottles and packs, break beer bottles and make the whole area unsafe for public use. Today because of our stupid behaviour many picnic spots are closed for public use by the villagers. Even the Rivona spring  is closed because we don't know to respect those places. Now in Kurdi village in sanguem where the tourists get a chance to visit once a year as the dam water goes down during April and May month. We can see the hidden temple and chapel and other areas under the dam water.  It is really hurting to see that this place was made unsafe by throwing beer bottles and plastic bottles and bags.  Requesting people to please take your garbage along with you.
