The Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) has approved the temporary handover of land belonging to Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited (KTCL) for a proposed project to be executed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
The decision came after prolonged discussions marked by heated exchanges and chaotic scenes during the council meeting. Several councillors voiced concerns over the feasibility of the project, warning that increased bus movement could worsen traffic congestion within the city.

Despite the objections, the council passed the resolution, paving the way for the temporary transfer of the land as further details of the development are awaited.
