Nov 5- Goa govt is contemplating amendment to Goa Panchayati Raj Act and the Municipalities Act to facilitate imposing of stricter fines for open and improper waste disposal, informed CM Pramod Sawant. Pointing out that there is no dearth of funds from govt side for garbage management, Sawant lamented that the Panchayats and Municipalities are not utilising the funds appropriately. Funds are given in 3 ways for both rural and urban local self govt bodies – directly through solid water management, through 15th finance commission and under Swatch Bharat Mission, Sawant informed.
