We have to somehow sustain the pressure on both fronts. Are there any water quality studies planned on the fountain water and/or wells in the Salmona area surrounding the dump? I was under the impression that the plateau site was a temporary measure until another properly constructed waste disposal facility was aquired somewhere in North Goa. However it has been going on for more than a decade. Was there any truth to the dumping of trash in Calangute by a Saligaokar or was it just smoke?
One of the ways to mend relations between the villages (Calangute & Saligao) is to develop a joint solution for garbage recycling and disposal that could benefit our constituents too. I'm sure there are other solutions to the problem than just shipping it off to some-one else's backyard. Metal, glass and plastic recycling with composting of wet waste with the sorting done at source. However, it requires the political will to implement and police. Judging from the pictures on the saligaofountain site, it appears that the construction is proceeding. When it is eventually stopped, who foots the bill for the demolition? Can the area be returned to it's natural state? Congratulations to Muriel & Mario for keeping up the pressure and to Louis for breaking this story on SaligaoNet.
