Yet another attempt to solve Sonsoddo garbage mess

10 May 2019 08:07 PM

Sonsoddo garbage dump has grown from a large 30000 tonnes of garbage to a unimaginable 2 lakh tonnes.





And there still seems to be no solution to the problem. Meetings and plans and promises were a norm for more than a decade.


But on the ground there has been not much change. Here are the details.


Now on Friday in yet another bid to sort out this issue, TCP Minister and Fatorda MLA held an inspection of the eyesore. Present were also former pollution control chairman Jose Noronha.


However, Vijai warns that unless Fomento is paid, there can be no way forward.


However, the Congress has a different take on this. Curtorim MLA Alex Reginald Lourenco alleged that after spending 15 crore rupees, Sonsoddo garbage dump has grown in size.


He says Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai took a U-turn when he said recently that even after completion of a year the problem of Sonsoddo garbage will not be solved.


Reginaldo said Vijai had told Fomento in November 2017 to come up with solution within two weeks but the problem remains. He also alleged that Fomento was given a one-sided agreement.
