MARGAO

What have the political parties and politicians got to say over South Goa district hospital’s request to the Margao Municipal Council to clear the illegal structures that have resurfaced at Monte Hill near the Junta Quarters at  Pajifond?

This question assumes significance and comes against the backdrop of the fact that the illegal structures on the Hospicio land had mushroomed on the eve of the 2021 elections for the Margao civic body.
