Goa faces a substantial waste increase in the coming decade. Projections show daily waste rising to over 1,100 tonnes by 2035. This surge will challenge existing treatment facilities. Factors like population growth and tourism contribute to the escalating problem. Authorities are urged to enhance garbage treatment capacity to manage the growing waste.

In the year 2009-2010, taleigao panchayat had collected over Rs 70 lakh as construction license fees.

The state government has notified that by-elections to the two North Goa zilla panchayat constituencies of Taleigao and St Cruz will be held on August 9.
