Waste piles up along Goa’s Salcete coast

While most cities are reporting cleaner roads and reduced waste generation, there are some other cities that are still grappling to manage its waste during the lockdown period. Garbage continues to accumulate along South Goa’s Salcete’s coast, from Colva to Benaulim, as waste collection vehicles are yet to be granted passes to pick up trash from the area.

The Times of India quotes Tourism director Menino D’Souza as saying that while the designated beach-cleaning agency, Karnataka Commercial and Industrial Corporation, has been keeping the shores clean, the district administration was yet to issue permits to vehicles to lift the waste.
