A Composting unit over a drain may seem a little bit of a surprise for many. But, welcome to Borda in the jurisdiction of Margao Municipal Council where a composting unit is presently under construction on a water nullah. While work on the composting unit has raised many an eyebrows, the Margao Municipal council has denied that work on the unit is being carried out by the Civic body. In fact, when contacted, MMC Chairperson Savio Coutinho said the work on the unit is being undertaken by a builder and that the Civic body has no role in the construction. Coutinho said he has directed the Municipal engineers to immediately stop work on the project, even as the builder has told the civic body that the property where the composting is coming up belongs to him.
