Arrangements for Exposition were par excellence: Aldona MLA

MAPUSA

Aldona MLA Carlos Ferreira said that the arrangements for the just-concluded 45-day Exposition of the sacred relics of Saint Francis Xavier were par excellence and commended the entire team for their efforts.

Ferreira said that all aspects were planned well.

“I was present for the opening and closing ceremonies, and I also attended the Shillong Chamber Choir concert. Everything was planned well. There were special arrangements for senior citizens like wheel chairs and at the facilitation centre. Everything was very smooth. Even the arrangements for security and parking were good. The entire setup and planning was also good, given the movement of people and placement of stalls for local businesses,” he said.

He also gave credit to the organising committee and volunteers for their efforts.

 “All arrangements were par excellance. I congratulate Aleixo Sequeira, Minister for Environment and Deputy Chairman of Exposition Secretariat Committee, Sandeep Jacques, Commissioner of the Exposition Committee, Convenor of the Exposition Committee, Fr Henry Falcao, and the entire team, including the 1,000-strong volunteers who worked day and night, free of cost,” he said.
