On Diwali morning, i.e, November 14, Karnataka Commercial Industrial Company (KCIC) supervisor Imtiyaz Kachi, along with two lady staff was seen cleaning the roadside with a mission to clear the debris and other waste dumped along the Eastern Bypass road. Kachi said that the biggest nightmare his workwomen have to handle is hospital waste, used sanitary napkins, tender coconut shells, broken beverage bottles, household waste dumped in plastic bags, baby pampers etc. The Eastern Bypass is a major connection between Arlem and Navelim via Margao for cargo trucks, petroleum transporting tankers and other vehicles local or inter-State mostly moving further towards Karnataka. It’s time the local administration takes things seriously and clears the Eastern Bypass road of Margao and makes it safe for the road users, residents and passersby.
