Saline water contaminates15 wells in Aldona

Saline water entered into 15 wells when a bundh breached near the Corjuem ferry wharf in Aldona. River water also gushed into neighbouring paddy fields and damaged the crops. Bardez Mamlatdar S Narulkar and Mapusa Deputy Collector Mahesh Khorjuveker visited the site to access the damage caused to farmers and villagers due to breaching of the bundh. When contacted, Aldona Sarpanch Vallabh Polle said the bundh got breached as a result of poor maintenance.
