Market area cleaned before monsoons

The gangGanv Bhavancho Ekvott members slogged it out for three hours on sunny and scorching 25th May to clean the village market and surrounding areas of all the plastic and other waste littering it.

This was to clean up the area before the onset of monsoons to ensure that the waste lying there does not clog the drains or get washed into the river, thereby polluting it.

Incidentally, earlier GBE members supervised labourers for eight days from 8:30 am to 5:30 to collect all the garbage lying by the roadsides and open spaces in the village with the same objective.

While 60 big black bags full of waste collected in this one week drive, 10 such bag full were collected from the market itself. All this collected waste is scientifically disposed through the Goa Waste Management Corporation.
