MARGAO
The Margao Municipal Council on Tuesday launched a truck for sanitation work provided by the government under the Swaach Bharat Mission project.
MMC Chairperson Lyndon Pereira, however, lamented that while other municipal bodies have received two trucks, the Margao civic body has been provided with just one truck under the Mission.
The chairperson along with deputy Deepali Sawal and councillors inaugurated the truck, which he said will go a long way in addressing the sanitation issues facing the city.
He further pointed out that while other civic bodies had received the trucks long ago, the Margao municipal body has got the truck from the government now. “We do not know why there was a delay from the office of Director of Urban Development to send our truck along with the vehicles of other civic bodies”, Lyndon added.
