Panaji, Jun 13: Goa’s capital city of Panaji faces a garbage crisis as increasing volume of rubbish has kept on accumulating after the local civic body refused to lift it.
 
The city is filled with stink and the corporation of city of Panaji has stopped collecting garbage from the city streets after they lost the dumping site to a protest by locals.
 
The CCP was accommodating the untreated garbage at Campal, a residential area within the city. The local residents protested after the first monsoon shower created filth around their houses.
 
Corporation Mayor Caroline Po said that they will not lift the waste till they get the alternate dumping site.
 
The rapid growth of the city over the years has left the local civic body to mend with around 40 tonne of rubbish generated from various households, market and hotels.
 
“We manage to dispose off certain quantity of garbage through the composting units set up in wards. But the major portion remains to be managed,” Po said.
 
As the garbage crisis continued haunting the city, the main opposition, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today gunned for the head of CCP commissioner Melwyn Vaz terming him `inefficient, incompetent and corrupt’.
 
“We demand that the commissioner should be changed and replaced with efficient IAS officer who can handle the crisis. The commissioner has failed to resolve the crisis and sitting cool,” Leader of Opposition and local legislator Manohar Parrikar told reporters this afternoon.
           
Parrikar, former Chief Minister, said that he has given all the possible help to the CCP to solve the crisis but the corporation lacks follow up.
 
“The Commissioner either has to solve the problem or quit,” Parrikar added.
