vasco: new gamblers bridge It seems to have become a garbage dumping area, where garbage is lying in several polythene bags.
The stretch of the bridge from Cortalim Junction to Verna was littered with heaps of polythene bags filled with garbage like food items and plastic.
TOI contacted various government departments including PWD (roads), police and panchayat, but all of them were unaware of the problem.
Speaking to TOI, assistant engineer PWD (NH) Vincent D’Souza said, “I am not aware of the garbage piling up at the new Zuari bridge. It is good that I was made aware of the problem.” “I will ensure that the matter is investigated,” he said.
Courtalim panchayat sarpanch Senia Perera was shocked to hear about the dumping and decided to inspect the section of the bridge falling under the panchayat. “We will try to find the culprits,” he added.
Perera has decided to file a complaint with the Vena police. He has demanded installation of CCTV cameras on the bridge.
