MARGAO
In a letter submitted to the MMC, the SCM Convenor Savio Coutinho pointed out that due to encroachments on passages/footpaths, more specially during festivals, the movement of the public through the narrow passages becomes difficult, adding that chain snatchers take advantage of the situation.
He said during festivals, the sopo contractor along with certain agent's promote occupation of footpaths and passages in order to earn a fast buck by exorbitant fee's collected from the illegal hawkers.
As such the Council has to come heavily on such practice.
A copy of the letter shall also be directed to the Margao Town Police to maintain a strict vigil, the letter reads.
