Misery of elderly customers at MMC

There is no end to the misery of customers paying house tax and other taxes at the Margao Municipal Council. The unending queue with customers standing to pay dues of the last three or more years is an eyesore. I waited for more than an hour this Thursday. The online Goa government municipal system to pay this tax is not working. When I tried to pay several times online there is always an error showing customer details not found. The online water, electricity and BSNL payment is working fine except for the MMC tax payment system. When I enquired with a staffer there he suggested to use the manual system since there are issues with online payments.Elderly senior citizens and others stand in the quene in the extreme heat of summer.

We citizens hope that the enthusiastic and ever helpful Chief Officer and the Chairperson will look into this situation and bring relief to the suffering citizens are facing.
