Replace old, broken chairs at MMC

This year Margao municipality which is also known as Camara Municipal de Salcete will be celebrating its 116th anniversary. But it is sad to see that this Goa’s top A grade municipality is in dire straits.

Hope that the city leaders, Margao municipality CO Agnelo and the government open their eyes to this issue and take care of this historical building.
