Digital Goa, June 7 – Slurry generated by the bio-methanation plant at SGPDA retail market in Margao is being carelessly released into the fields near the plant. With the ensuring monsoons, this could lead to major health hazards. A worker at the plant informed that this was being done for over a month now as the tanker facility to dispose off the slurry was not available. Interestingly, last year also the plant was closed for over a month due to non availability of slurry transporting facility. When 5 TPD bio-methanation plant was started way back in November 2021 with much fanfare, the plan was to transport the slurry, which can be used as manure, to treatment plant for disposal or use it for gardening. Environmental audit of the plant which was done in 2022 had also raised several concerns.
