Waste Management Minister Michael Lobo on Thursday said a Saligao like garbage treatment plant will be conceived at Sonsoddo with much improvised technology.
Speaking during an inspection of the Sonsoddo plant, he said as a long-term measure, the existing plant at the site would be removed.
He gave his nod to set up bio-digesters at two locations in Margao Municipal Council (MMC) jurisdiction as a short term measure to handle the prevailing garbage situation in Margao and its neighbouring areas.
Stating that he does not want to politicise the issue, Lobo sought cooperation from the people’s representatives and the civic body.
