BAGA/ARPORA: Tensions at the 5.6 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant in Baga finally eased after timely intervention by North Goa Mamlatdar Anant Mallik, who visited the site on the request of Calangute PI Paresh Naik.
The Arpora–Nagoa Sarpanch Roshan Redkar, along with irate villagers, had gathered at the plant in protest after sewage tankers from their village were denied entry for over two months.
Locals insisted on meeting the Managing Director, Rajesh Kumar Khanna, but were instead asked to speak to the Mamlatdar by the police team present at the site. Sarpanch Redkar stated that just four days ago, residents were assured by SIDCGL that the sewage disposal issue would be resolved, making the sudden refusal a shock for the village.
After assessing the situation and holding discussions with all parties, Mamlatdar Mallik addressed the concerns of the villagers and successfully resolved the matter. Following his intervention, the sewage tankers from Arpora–Nagoa were finally allowed to discharge at the Baga STP as usual.
Police personnel from Calangute and Anjuna remained deployed throughout the incident to maintain law and order.
