MARGAO
The Margao Municipal Council on Thursday razed down an encroachment carried out at a kiosk near the Ravindra Bhavan Circle.
The municipal workers went about their work as per the order issued by the Margao Municipal Chief Officer Agnelo Fernandes.
Complaints were filed with the Margao Municipal Council over the extension made to the gadda with a shed. There were also complaints that the activities at the kiosk results in obstruction to traffic near the circle.
Former councilor Ramdas Hazare, however, suspected political vendetta behind the MMC action with civic polls round the corner. “It is surprising that the MMC went about removing the encroachment to the kiosk. Was this the only encroachment the MMC found out in the city,” he demanded to know.
Saying that the encroachment has been removed with the civic polls in mind, Hazare said no one would be able to stop him from contesting in any of the three wards of the Margao Municipal Council.
