Chief Officer MMC Agnelo Fernandes informed his office has received several complaints from residents of Margao with regard to the illegal selling of goods and especially the Christmas decorations.
“It is brought to my notice that all over streets of Margao Municipal Council jurisdiction people are selling all types of Christmas decoration and other items illegally and thereby also obstructing the free flow of traffic. Some of these hawkers have not applied for any permission from the MMC,” Fernandes said.
The CO mentioned that he has ordered both the Municipal inspectors to take immediate action and ensure strict compliance of municipality guidelines to clear the streets of all illegal hawkers.
He further appealed to the shoppers coming into Margao not to entertain these illegal hawkers selling Christmas decor, etc but to support genuine Margao traders who pay regular business fees and rent to the MMC.
