MARGAO
The old market area of Margao Municipal Council witnessed an uproar on Friday evening after a Margao Municipal team headed by the market inspectors descended at the fast food joint operating near the court building to remove items from the passage.
Heated discussions ensued between the market inspectors and the people running the restaurant when the team tried to seize chairs and tables arranged in the passage. The Margao police detained a person in a police jeep as a precautionary measure.
The market inspectors maintained that the restaurant cannot run the business in the passage of the building, even as they seized the chairs and tables. On the other hand, the fast food owner demanded to know how come only his restaurant has been the target the Municipal authorities for a long time now, wondering why the authorities have turned a blind eye to the illegalities.
This is not the first time that the Municipal market inspectors and workers had descended at the Manush restaurant. Last time round too, Margao Municipal inspector Viraj Arabekar and the people running the fast food centre were embroiled in war of words over the activity.
