-----------AGAIN ANOTHER EXERCISE BY CCP ON SMART CITY MISSION i HAVE RECEIVED AN INVITATION FROM THE CCP MAYOR SURENDRA FURTADO- ON 29TH MARCH 2016, THAT THERE IS A PRESENTATION ON GARBAGE TREATMENT BY PEZ INDIA LTD REPRESENTATIVE OF HOLLAND CO. ON 1ST APRIL AT 11 AM CCO HALL. HE EXPECT US TO GIVE VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.
Everytime the meeting had taken place either at Fidalgo Hotel or at CCO hall, the impression is given to us, that Panjim is gearing up for a Smart City. We are at 5th ranking on Fast Track it seems. We all Panjimtes feel, unless the Panjim city is cleaned up first in all respects, we should not think of having a SMART CITY especially on account of natural flooding due high tide rise, St Ines creek, roads, garbage, gutters, sewage, underground cabling for LT/ HT and water pipeline etc. Now, on 1st April at 11AM we are been invited to be present at CCO hall, for the presentation by PEZ India Ltd, representative of Holland Co. on garbage treatment. This issue of garbage is really serious and so far there is no solution. Even it is not known which site a plant is selected, whether Bainguinim or Taleigao. We have Sonsoddo in Margao which is permanent dumping ground, with no solution. I will not be surprised that an another junket tour will be suggested and that many of these so called experts and bureaucrats will participate for a tour to Holland for studies.? Earlier Singapore junket tour was carried out, and nothing fruitful has come up. Let us see what will happen in this meeting. Dr. Nandkumar Kamat an expert research scientist from Goa University, had explained various issues on his last presentation at CCO hall on Smart City programme. I expect that to be taken into consideration. Hope the present Mayor Surendra Furtado and Commissioner Sanjit Rodrigues will be able to place on record our earlier deliberation during this meeting. Let us wait and see its outcome.
