The revelation by the Mayor of Panaji Yatin Parekh that Chief Minister Digambar Kamat had asked him to go slow on the proposed garbage disposal plant at Baiguinim is a matter of concern. The Corporation of City of Panaji and the Goa government have given an undertaking to the High Court on the Bainguinim plant for which even the land has already been acquired. Any politically motivated behind the scenes manipulation to deviate and delay the Bainguinim plant would infact be in contempt of the High Court.
Ironically instead of expediting the setting up of the Bainguinim garbage plant, Mayor Yatin Parekh’s priority has been to purchase a new Rs 8 lakh car although the Mayor’s current official car is in perfect condition. If Mayor Parekh feels that his predecessors may have left some stink in the car he could have used an air freshener. There was no need to go in for a new car especially inview that the CCP coffers are empty and Panaji is stinking in garbage.
