MARGAO
The Margao Municipal Market panel has on Friday decided to place before the Council the request received from the police to shift the food court opposite the Margao KTC bus stand.
When the issue was placed at the meeting of the Market Committee chaired by MMC Vice-Chairperson Deepali Sawal, Chief Officer Gaurish Sankhwalkar maintained that the garbage panel has no power to deal with the issue.
Sawal told the media after the meeting that the letter received from the police would be placed before the Council meeting.
Councillor Mahesh Amonkar, a member of the market panel, demanded to know how come Municipal property at the Old Market was being used for the purpose of godgoddo gambling. He said while the Chief Officer has demolished a structure erected to run gambling at Old Market, Amonkar demanded that no municipal premise should be utilised for gambling.
Amonkar further demanded that the Municipality should crack a whip against illegal vending on the city footpaths and pavements before the High Court takes cognizance of the large scale illegal activity in the commercial capital.
