MMC would now be charging sopo at Rs 15 with immediate effect as a step to boost the revenue . The previous price at which sopo was charged was Rs 5 thus taking the Sopo rates to three times the previous charges.
Councillor Girish Borker said that sopo charges had been increased and revised during the budget meeting as a step to increase the MMC revenue.
" The sopo was being collected at Rs 5 but for the last 20 to 25 years there was no raise in the amount . We have resolved that the sopo be charged at Rs 15 and all the Councillors have agreed to this suggestion and the Chief Officer has said that it will be implemented immediately because it will boost our revenue as well, " said Borker.
