Environmentalists must wake up and counter act whether there is any impact of sewage discharge in river Mandovi. I don't agree with the statement come up in Raya Sabba. According to me the STP plant in St Inez Tonca is overloaded with the sewage tankers coming from various sources like 5 star hotels and offshore casinos. This polution can be verified by renowned agencies and local Institute of Oceanography. Whether any official studies were done by local government? I have inspected the STP plant and found the sewage tankers are discharging sewage in the STP plant and found overloaded beyond the capacity of the plant and excess is discharged into the creek on turn to river Mandovi. Also when I wanted to inspect the supply of sewage from Casinos being loaded via supply boats into the standing on platform jetty I was not allowed to verify and was stopped by security at the Captain of Ports jetty. That means there was no transparency on loading operation. It is very clear that the St. INEZ CREEK water is polluted beyond quantity of sewage coming from various sources such as high rise buildings, migrants housing nearby on borders and STP plant overloading plant. The sample for analysis can very well give the proofs of sewage contamination on River Mandovi. That means the reporting to Raya Sabba by vested interest needs to be further verified by appointing government agencies to substantiate its claim and analysis of water sample near offshore casinos will give the percentage of pollution contamination on Mandovi.
