The previous council had been unable to solve all the pending issues and the people expect more from the new council which has some new and young faces.
The new market, a dream project of Valpoi MLA Vishwajeet Rane, was inaugurated by former chief minister Manohar Parrikar but is not up to the expectations of the people. It is an important project to create revenue for Valpoi municipality but negligence on the part of the former council didn’t see it being made full use of.
It will be a challenge for the new council to put in place a proper system that will ensure a steady flow of revenue into the municipal treasury.
Construction on the garbage plant has been in progress for the last five years but the speed at which it is progressing is making this a white elephant for VMC. Valpoi residents are demanding that the new body initiate immediate moves to commence this plant. At present the plant is still under construction.
Newly elected VMC chairman Ramdas Shirodkar assured that this will be his priority as the disposal of garbage is an important issue in the town.
