Garbage dumping: CMC, clinic in dock
MARGAO: Cuncolim-based Ronnie Dias has lodged a complaint with the Cuncolim police against the Cuncolim Municipal Council (CMC) and a city-based hospital for dumping bio-medical waste in the open grounds on the outskirts of the city.
Speaking to TOI, Dias said that he saw CMC workers collecting waste from the hospital on Tuesday evening which was later dumped near the site earlier earmarked for the housing board colony. Stating that dumping bio-medical waste was in violation of laws in force, Dias has demanded action against those responsible for the same.
The Cuncolim police were yet to register any offence until late Tuesday evening.
