Dirty, ugly Goa
-------------------
I'm writing as a tourist visiting Goa for the past 10 years.
On behalf of myself and other tourists having shopped at
Calangute market, the litter and stench building up round
the banyan tree is appalling.
The rubbish and dirty water from the fish market drains into
this area people are seen urinating and defecating around it.
This situation should be stopped and dealt with immediately.
The vendors have told me that the matter has been reported
to the local panchayat, how true this is I don't know, but they
say nothing has been done about it. This is a very hazardous
problem to people's health. Adjoining this mess is a pastry stall
where vendors are sitting on the ground selling various fruits
and vegetable.
Goa has a litter problem which seems to get worse year by year
(Panjim is now setting an example and now begins to look better for).
I think you need to educate the people of Calangute and surrounding
areas, not to drop bottles, paper, etc. where they are standing.
Another thing is "why do they have to spit everywhere?" They even
do it in eating areas. Every round the swimming pool at hotels etc
roundabout.
Why can't shopkeepers clean the area in front of their shops,
this would be a start, rubbish bins could be provided and be
collected on a weekly basis.
Goa is a beautiful state, as it said keep it green & clean.
Tourists of Calangute.
