Ponda municipal council gets show-cause notice

PONDA: Alleging that the Ponda municipal council (PMC) failed to tackle the garbage issue, the directorate of municipal administration has issued a show cause notice asking the council why it should not be dissolved.
PMC chairperson Rukmi Dangui termed it as a political gimmick. Claiming that the notice was a procedure, she alleged that some politicians with vested interests want to dissolve the PMC and impose an administrator on it.
"If it was for failure to tackle the garbage menace, the notice should have been addressed to the municipal solid waste officer. But, it was addressed to the chairperson and chief officer which shows the vested interests," Dangui said.
