Panaji, Sep 16 (PTI): Goa Government today launched a campaign to make the State's beaches, which attract millions of tourists from all over India and abroad, free of garbage within a year. <\/p>\n
Private contractors given the job to clean-up the seasides dotting Goa have started the work on a daily basis. <\/p>\n
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar launched 'clean Goa beautiful Goa' campaign, which will see several hundred personnel working to restore the natural charm of the shorelines. <\/p>\n
\"All the beaches would be garbage-free within a year. <\/p>\n
By December 19 this year, almost 90-95 per cent of the garbage will disappear from the beaches,\" said Parrikar. <\/p>\n
The Government has given the task to two private agencies, who will lift garbage manually for a few months before shifting to mechanised cleaning. <\/p>\n
Parrikar said the contract is for five years and would be renewed annually. Monitoring committees have been formed to certify the cleanliness on the beaches. <\/p>\n
\"The bills of the contractors will be cleared only after the committee is satisfied with their work.\" <\/p>\n
State Director of Tourism Ameya Abhyankar said the cleanliness drive would be stepped up during the festive season. <\/p>\n
