Cuncolim locals have demanded that the government carry out an inspection of the hazardous waste dumped at Cuncolim industrial estate, waste from steel factory and pollution caused by the fish meal plants.
They have demanded that the authorities take care of the hazardous waste left behind in a plot by Sunrise Zinc Ltd in a captive landfill site to prevent contamination of land, water bodies, fields and wells.
The Cuncolim residents are unhappy that their industrial estate is one of the most polluted one in Goa; and, besides having to deal with steel slag waste, fumes from alloy factories, they have to bear the stench from the fish meal plants as well.
