Curca garbage case

PANJIM: High Court has granted one-week's time to the state government to decide whether they should go ahead with the capping of Curca site or opt for another proposal to shift the garbage to another site before the following monsoon .

The Division bench granted a week's time on Advocate General Subodh Kantak's request.

It must be recalled that on September 25, 2006, in the minutes of order submitted to the Court, all parties concerned with the Curca garbage site - the Curca villagers (petitioners) and respondent state government, Corporation of City of Panjim (CCP) and Goa State Urban Development Authority (GSUDA) – had agreed to go ahead with capping the site. The work was estimated to be completed by May 30, 2007 and the expenditure sanctioned was Rs 1,09,64,625.



Later, GSUDA postponed the work of capping Curca and said that it would be completed by March 31, 2008.
