MARGAO
The Shadow Council for Margao has questioned the validity of the High Powered Coordination Committee (HPCC) for Sonsodo which held a meeting headed by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Monday.
At a media briefing, SCM convenor Savio Coutinho termed the decisions invalid and irrelevant as the High Powered Coordination Committee was specifically formed for the tender process held in 2010, through which Fomento was awarded the work.
"With the exit of Fomento, the committee becomes defunct," Coutinho said.
He said that Margao was the only Council to have a High Powered Coordination Committee headed by the highest functionary of the State i.e. the Chief Minister, and after six chief ministers holding several meetings and taking dozens of decisions, a solution to the Sonsodo problem continued to persist.
"Municipal councils without any HPCC have set up plants much after the Margao HPCC, which plants are operational as well," he added.
