Margao: The Curchorem Cacora Municipal Council (CCMC), at a special meeting held on Wednesday, decided to do away with outsourcing of door-to-door collection of garbage. Instead, it will hire labourers from a labour contractor and get the task done.CCMC will invite bids for the purpose as the current contract for door-to-door waste collection expires by December, chairperson Jasmine Braganza told reporters. However, the current contractor will be asked to carry on with the task for another couple of months to ensure seamless transition, it was informed. Councillor Balkrishna Hodarkar, who staunchly advocated the change in the mode of door-to-door collection of waste, told TOI that this move was aimed at saving a considerable amount of taxpayers’ money.A few days before the Wednesday meeting, the councillors met and “after a thorough discussion and careful calculation”, inferred that hiring 45 daily wage labourers from the contractor would bring down the estimated cost of the tender to Rs 1.2 crore, Hodarkar said. The council has also resolved to ensure that garbage collection fees will be collected from unauthorised houses which have so far not been assessed for the purpose.
