MARGAO
With Margao Municipal Council Chairperson Babita Angle Prabhudessai heading to Daman from Tuesday for a two-day training session scheduled on January 20-21, Margao municipality will have no chairperson for the next three days, literally.
For, Babita has decided not to hand over the charge of office to her deputy Doris Texeira on grounds that she would be out of station only for three days and will be available on her cell phone though away from the State.
Unlike other participants for the two-day specialised training session, who have left for Daman on Monday evening, Babita is leaving for the session on Tuesday by flight, saying that her physical absence should not hamper any work since the day-to-day administration is run by the Chief Officer. “Moreover, if they require me for any assistance, I will be available on the phone," she said.
Incidentally, MMC vice chairperson Doris Texeira and many other councillors are not attending the two-day specialised training.
