Mardol Shigmo on March 19
PONDA: Ponda Taluka Antruj Shigmotsav Samiti (PTASS), headed by former chief minister Ravi Naik, will celebrate Shigmotsav at Mardol on March 19.
In its meeting, PTASS decided the date of celebration and planned the programme. Ravi Naik, Ashok Naik, Kishore Naik, Hanumanth Naik, Dinkar Mundye and others were present for the meeting.
Since Ravi Naik lost to Ponda MLA Lavoo Mamledar, PTASS was distanced by government authorities by depriving them from celebrating Shigmotsav through government funds. Hence, PTASS is celebrating the event on its own and that too by only offering traditional ‘Naman’ of Shigmotsav to Goddess Shree Mahalsa at Mardol.
The procession will start from Mardol masjid and will culminate near Mahalsa temple. Programmes like fancy dress competition, etc, will start at 3 pm.
PTASS has convened a meeting to discuss the programme at Shigmotsav hall on March 6 at 6 pm.
