PANJIM: The developments at the Curchorem-Cacora Municipal Council (CCMC) continue to remain unsteady, as now the Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) has issued a notice regarding the holding a meeting to discuss the no-confidence motion against the CCMC Chairperson on April 16.
Earlier DMA had rejected the NC motion on technical grounds. This NC incidentally, had been moved by nine newly-elected councillors, half an hour after the CCMC Chairperson Balkrishna (Pinty) Hodarkar had been elected. Thereafter, Rhucha Vasta, who had been elected as the CCMC Vice Chairperson (VC) unopposed, had also submitted her resignation as VC.

On Monday, DMA issued notices to all the councillors and Chairperson of CCMC regarding the NC and issued directions for the meeting to be held on April 16 for voting to be held on the motion.
Last Wednesday, many councillors did not attend the CCMC special meeting. The Chairperson, Balkrishna, who incidentally was one of the former chairpersons of the last council, informed the media that serious pressure has been exerted on the councillors by the local MLA. When Hordakar was elected as chairperson, it was seen as a major embarrassment to the ruling party.
