MARGAO: Congress leader and Navelim MLA Luizinho Faleiro, on Saturday, alleged that the Salpem lake of Navelim does not bear any semblance of beautification, on which the government is claiming to have spent crores of rupees.
Briefing the media, Faleiro said that “I visited the lake, but could not see any beautification work carried out. Presently, raw sewage makes its way into the lake and it is highly polluted. I have a plan to beautify the area and has requested the chief minister to lay emphasis on those works.”
Assuring of turning Navelim into a model constituency, Faleiro said that his main aim is to ensure that his constituency is clean, green and healthy.
“During my tenure as MLA ten years ago, I had acquired land for farmers’ marketing centres at two different places – Davorlim and Rawanfond, but the land was used for building constructions. There is no proper marketing place for local farmers. I will try to do it again,” Speaking further, Faleiro assured of reviving agriculture in Navelim with the available water resources.
“I am happy that the Chief Minister has promised to ensure cleanliness in Goa in next two years. I have a similar plan to create a healthy environment through people’s support in the constituency,” he said.
, adding, the River Sal is clogged with all kinds of waste.
