MARGAO
It wasn’t any fruit festival at the entrance to the Margao Municipal Council building on Friday. But, the Municipal building entrance resembled a fruit fest with crates of fruits dumped at the entrance which were confiscated during an anti-encroachment drive.
In fact, the MMC workers seized fruits which were being sold to customers in unauthorised places across the city on Friday. The value of the seized fruits was pegged around Rs 25,000.
The anti-encroachment drive against the fruits was initiated by the MMC workers following complaint that fruit sellers has encroached on the footpaths and passages across the city.
