The two projects were inaugurated at the hands of senior citizens, thus becoming the only panchayat on Goa to offer these one of its kind services to the villagers.
Sarpanch Frank Fernandes told the media that the composting machine has a capacity to compost wet garbage up to 75 kg a day.
“The composting machine will take care of the wet waste generated in the panchayat as well as the village market area,” Frank said, adding the composition machine has been installed as part of the panchayat’s efforts to resolve the garbage problem affecting the village. The panchayat has been collecting dry waste since the last several months.
On the online payment of house tax and light tax, the sarpanch said that by launching the facility, the panchayat has fulfilled the needs of the villagers and household owners, especially those staying at different locations. “This online payment facility will save the time of household owners as they no longer need to visit the panchayat to make the house tax and light tax payments,” the sarpanch added.
The panchayat has informed that taxpayers can make the payments online from the website www.vpnavelim.com. The user shall enter the respective house number or the customer ID to view the details of the dues of both house/light tax. Also, the user, whose dues are pending for a considerable period will have the option of paying arrears and the current dues in two installments.
