Navelim farmers upset over release sewage water into nullah, their fields

09 Apr 2021 04:00 PM

Navelim farmers cannot cultivate their fields because the sewage water from the sewage treatment plant at Xelpem is being released into a nullah. During the monsoon this nallah overflows dumping the sewage water into the paddy fields.



Most of the farmers are sailors who have been laid off because of the pandemic. They say they are unable to grow crops as they get skin infection. They say that this release of sewage water into the nullah and subsequently fields  has to stop immediately.
