VASCO: Spelling out her priorities for the port town, newly elected Mormugao Municipal Council Chairperson Fiola Rego said she wants to get the solid waste management plant functioning at Headland-Sada to minimise garbage accumulated in Vasco.

“The MMC, through the intervention of Vasco MLA and KTC Chairman Carlos Almeida, has requested the government to grant a fund of Rs 3.75 crore to start the garbage treatment plant. The council has already appointed a consultant and is capable of treating garbage by December if we receive the required grants from the government,” said Rego.
