MARGAO
The Shadow Council for Margao has said the illegalities in Margao markets and along roads and footpaths will come for a proper dressing only once the High Court takes suo motto cognizance of the blatant violations or in the event a contempt petition is filed in the court.
Shadow Council for Margao Convenor Savio Coutinho has said that one will find large scale encroachment and extension in both the markets. “It’s not that survey of the two markets have not been carried out. At least on two occasions in the last few years, survey have been conducted by the Municipal Inspectors, but the reports have been confined to the MMC files for obvious reasons", Coutinho charged.
He added: Considering the plan submitted to the High Court as a base plan, all the subsequent encroachments can easily be identified. But will the concerned authorities have the will to do so, remains a million dollar question”.
