PANJIM: Expressing happiness after seven retired daily wage workers of Margao Municipal Council finally receiving their Provident Fund, leader Camilo Barreto on Saturday informed that they have withdrawn the complaint lodged against then Chief Office Siddhivinayak Naik for allegedly abusing Scheduled Tribes persons.
It may be recalled that on September 23, 2019, Barreto along with five others had filed a complaint with the Margao Town Police accusing Siddhivinayak Naik of allegedly abusing them by calling them “ST Gaude”. The remark was against the protection of the Scheduled Tribes community. The altercation had occurred with Camilo along with the five others while were discussing with the Chief Officer about the Provident Fund remuneration to the retired daily wage workers.
