The vendors on Thursday afternoon met Ponda MLA Ravi Naik to discuss the issue and he summoned PMC Chief Officer Navnath Naik to his office to resolve the issue.
During the meeting, the group vendors agreed to pay the sopo tax at the rate of Rs 10 per sq mt.
Confirming this, Kishore Mamlekar, president of Ponda Vyapari Sanghatana, said they had met the local MLA in the matter. “We told the chief officer that we would pay the dues in three instalments and he has assured us to place our demand before the council,” said Mamlekar. TGN
