Involve citizens in waste management: Shadow Council

PANAJI: In view of the ongoing Sonsoddo garbage imbroglio, Margao Shadow Council has proposed involving citizens in the planning and execution of waste management systems.
‘Count Me In’, a people’s initiative to tackle the garbage problem, will be presented before Margao MLA Digamber Kamat, Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai, Curtorim MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco as well as the chief officer of Margao Municipal Council (MMC) on Monday.
“We hope they can put aside their egos and assure those interested in contributing towards the city’s welfare,” Shadow Council convenor, Savio Coutinho, said.
Coutinho said it is important for MMC to involve like-minded people to participate in waste management through local committees.
