MARGAO: Reacting to the uproar at Margao Municipal Council (MMC) over the issue of renting out shops in Gandhi Market with incorrect procedure, Agnelo Fernandes, Chief Officer of the civic body said there are no irregularities in the procedure.
He said all the formalities were done before signing the agreement of renting out the shops.
