PANAJI: Goa Waste Management Corporation (GWMC) has extended the time limit for firms to submit bids for building a waste processing plant at Bainguinim.
As per the information, this is the fourth time that the bidding time frame for companies has been extended due to poor outcomes.
“GWMC has extended the date for bids from November 22 to Dec 2, 2022. GWMC is trying to find an operator for designing, engineer, build, operate and maintain Rs 120-crore worth 100-tonne per day (TPD) solid waste treatment plant for a period of 10 years.” the circular states
The decision to set up the garbage treatment plant at Bainguinim received stiff opposition from the villagers of Bainguinim and Old Goa.
They had urged the government to scrap the proposal and to give the land to the Old Goa village panchayat for a recreational project.
It may be recalled that senior BJP leader Shripad Naik had endorsed the objection raised to the proposed solid waste management plant (SWMP) at Bainguinim by the residents of Old Goa.
