CM Pramod Sawant has finally publicly acknowledged that there is rampant corruption in waste management. But why did it take the CM so long to realise something that was known to all. We need to know what action the government plans to take to crack this corruption.
Over the years successive governments have miserably abdicated their bounden duty to address the issue of garbage disposal. Now people have been dumping their waste all over even throwing it brazenly into our rivers and lakes. The gravity of the situation has been highlighted by our High Court which has been monitoring the garbage crisis. It has even necessitated the creation of a Ministry for Waste Management.
The flow of high-end tourists into Goa has been adversely affected on account of our towns, villages and even the beaches being inundated with garbage.
Goa needs three or four more garbage disposal plants in order to ensure the proper handling of garbage across the State.
