WASTE PROBLEM BLAMED ON GROWING MIGRANT POPULATION

Dhavorlim–Dicarpali is drowning under a growing sea of garbage. Despite daily collection and strict vigilance, Sarpanch Herculean Niasso says that people dump their garbage during the night.

Stray dogs then drag waste into fields and make life difficult for farmers who are unable to till their farms. Both governing authorities and locals are blaming the problem on Dhavorlim’s growing migrant population.
