Sewage issue in Calangute needs to be resolved

We the residents  of House No 1/133-A  Gauravaddo, Calangute  state that our neighbouring property owners  bearing survey No 120/9-A and  121/2-C at Gauravaddo  have their raw sewage and waste water overflowing and seeping through our perimeter wall directly into our private property 24/7  since  the past several days . The sewage and waste water released, is stinking and directly fouling up our living environment  as well as our drinking water wells.  We, being senior citizens with health issues and depleting immunity, can no longer afford to stay silent on the matter. Earlier, we had drawn the attention of Calangute Sarpanch and the Health Officer on January 12, 2022  in writing with photographs and videos. Sadly, no positive action has  been taken and  the issue remains  unresolved till date. When we complained again on May 15 this year  he visited the site with the VP Secretary without serving inspection notice  and started  blaming the complainants. We had approached  our Calangute MLA  Michael Lobo and appraised him of the grave situation we are facing  more than once although he personally visited the site and gave assurance to resolve the long pending issue. Can we senior citizens get justice from our government?

After votes were cast and exit polls discussed, all still…
