In an one-off order, the Khola panchayat secretary has been transferred to Gaondongrim Panchayat. According to reliable sources, Khola Panchayat Secretary Rajeev Naik Gaonkar is transferred and is directed to Gaondongrim Panchayat with immediate effect.
The panchayat secretary's transfer assumes significance, as the third secretary has been transferred since South MP Narendra Savoikar adopted Khola for development under Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojna.
He has been relieved and asked to join Gaondongrim to relieve Gaondongrim Panchayat Secretary Damodar Kankonkar, who has been directed to join Khola Panchayat. Confirming the development, Khola Sarpanch Purna Nayak said the reason for sudden transfer was not known, whereas the outgoing secretary as well as incoming secretary are known to perform good.
"What has not understood is the sudden and on-off transfer of the secretary, which normally happens on a routine of rotating other panchayat secretaries," said the sarpanch.
Interestingly, it may be known that Khola which is part of Quepem constituency and represented by Leader of Opposition Chandrakant (Babu) Kavlekar is adopted under Adarsh Sansad Gram by MP Savoikar.
