The Goa Forward party (GFP) has alleged major scam in the collection and treatment of bio-medical waste in the State.
Former Chairperson of the Margao Municipal Council and GFP member Babia Prabhudesai has said that the State government has initiated a parallel process to collect and treat bio-medical waste without consulting the stakeholders through a Gurgaon based firm at a much higher cost.
She said that the contract is awarded to Gurgaon-based M/s Biotic Waste Solution Pvt Ltd that is charging 40 percent more than the amount charged earlier.
The tender for the same was floated through Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation (GSIDC), she informed.
