Benaulim locals irate over dumped waste
Irate villagers from Benaulim took a hotel owner to task holding him
responsible for dumping waste at an open space at Tolleaband, Benaulim, on
Monday morning. Determined to catch the culprits responsible for dumping waste
in the open, the villagers began to investigate and checked all the shacks
along the beach. Incidentally, they chanced upon some medical practitioner's
prescription pads amid the garbage. On further inquiries, the villagers learnt
that the doctor in question also owned a hotel in the village, and gathered
that it was the waste from this eatery that found its way to Benaulim. The
villagers, led by Benaulim sarpanch Carmelina Fernandes, questioned the medical
practitioner and warned him against dumping waste in their village. They
relented only when he assured to lift the waste and promised not to repeat the
act. Significantly, the doctor was forced to come down to the site and lift the
garbage dumped by him. [TNN]
