Garbage: a bomb ready to explode
18 Sep: Herald. With rising opposition from people for
locating dumping sites in their vicinities, and complacency of the government in finding solution to the problem, it appears,
that Goans will have to wait for an epidemic to break, to realise importance of having stable machinery for treating garbage.

Dear Friends of Goa,
The lack of waste management infrastructure for both hazardous and ordinary waste
in Goa is shocking, shameful and, quite simply, inexcusable. Successive Goa governments have yet to take the problem seriously,

season, and the government proceeds with plans to host IFFI, which will only compound the problem. Goa can no longer sustain
this assault.

poses and ask tourists, especially foreigners, to stay away. For full text click here.
