CCP must rethink on new garbage segregating concept

DR ROSARIO MENEZES, Panjim | OCTOBER 22, 2020, 11:13 PM IST

It was reported that there is garbage piled up and accumulating in some areas of Panjim.

This coincides with a proposed drive by the CCP to introduce a 16-phase segregation of dry garbage for the housing complexes in Panjim. Should not charity begin at home?

It is observed that, even in the most scientifically advanced garbage handling countries of the world such as USA, Singapore, Hong Kong Japan and Taiwan garbage is segregated in four or five separate bins.

Therefore to aim for a 16-phase/bin garbage segregation seems to be absolutely an Alice in Wonderland concept for a nation, a State and a town which did not practice any garbage segregation, even into two phases, dry and wet, until a few years ago.

It would be interesting to survey how many housing complexes have enough open area to accommodate 16 different bins for a16-phase segregation.

It might be more sensible and reasonable to set achievable goals rather than set unachievable goals which are doomed to fail.
