SANGUEM: The Sanguem Municipal Council is facing serious infrastructure issues, with only four working computers for 13 staff members, forcing employees to share systems, which is causing delays in public services.
Due to this shortage, residents have to wait for several days even for basic work. The building of the council is big but the facilities are missing. According to sources, there are a total of 13 staff members and ten of them do not have a desktop computer. Not only that even condition of printers too is not good and they do not function properly. Some of the desktops which are not functioning have been kept at a corner of the office. The shortage of the facility is causing inconvenience to the people of Sanguem who visit the council for various kind of works.
Speaking to O Heraldo, Sanguem councillor Meshu D'Costa, said, "I have spoken to the chief officer of the Council. He is the authority and I have hope that he will do the work. It does not look good that there are no required number of computers. People come here for different type of work. People need to be provided service."
"People pay taxes so they should get service. It is a very shameful act that there are no computers. We can only request, other than that I cannot do anything. Chairperson should act on this. Even the DMA (Directorate of Municipal Administration) too should know what is going on here,"
D'Costa said.
