It may be noted that few days back a four day wine and haute cuisine festival organized by Goa Tourism Development Corporation Ltd and the Department of Tourism was organized at the Panjim football ground
Though The unique cultural experience had brought in together dignitaries attached with the global industries of wine, food, beverages and lifestyle but what ever the organizers used for making the event a success is now lying at the corner of the panjim football ground .
But though the festival had been a success the organizers seems to have forgotten their responsibility of cleaning up the mess from the area which had been left un-cleaned and gives a shabby look for the ground even when lakhs of rupees were spent on organizing the great escapade 2013 …
Various form of garbage such as glass bottles, pieces of glass bottles, plastic of various form and other utility items are been dumped at the corner of the football ground and have not yet been collected till date due to which there is a fear that the same waste could find its way in to the river in the next few days which could create river pollution …
Speaking to goanreporter ccp mayor vaidehi naik said that the permission to hold the event was given with pre conditions to the organizers and therefore it was the responsibility of the organizers to clean up the area …
Meanwhile chief minister and mla of Panjim constituency Manohar Parrikar said it was for the ccp to take action immediately on such issues
