PANAJI: Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant on Saturday urged tourists and others not to litter the area around Chorla ghats, and to take responsibility to protect it.
Sawant’s remarks came after a trip he took to Belagavi from Keri, during which he saw garbage strewn around the place. “After crossing the Anjunem dam, I saw that people had thrown garbage and plastic bottles on both sides of the road,” he said. “If we don’t protect the environment of the Sahyadri ghats, it will soon turn the place into a garbage heap.”
