MARGAO
Is the government scouting for a senior bureaucrat to head the Margao Municipal Council as its Chief Officer? Sources in the know informed that Biju Naik is not keen on assuming charge due to personal reasons.
Though her transfer order had come Thursday last, she has not assumed office to date. An Officer told The Goan that the process to shortlist a senior officer to head the MMC is underway and the government will soon take a call on the matter. It could not be ascertained whether the government will go for a new Chief Officer before Biju takes charge.
“We are in the process of shortlisting a senior officer to head the Margao Municipal Council. I cannot say at this stage whether it could be a senior bureaucrat, who was recently promoted in the IAS grade,” the senior officer pointed out, when his attention was drawn to reports that a newly-promoted officer in the IAS cadre may assume charge of the MMC.
