MMC Formula 4 Meeting In Turmoil; Works Halted
The special meeting of the Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) on Friday ended in chaos after councillors staged a walkout in protest over what they termed as “unanswered questions” surrounding the upcoming Formula 4 event in the port town. With the walkout leaving the meeting without quorum, Chairperson Girish Borker was forced to adjourn the session.
Following the disruption, Borker directed municipal staff to halt all ongoing works linked to the event at Sada until further notice. Bogda ward councillor Prajay Mayekar led the protest, condemning the event for causing inconvenience to residents. “We don’t want any event that brings trouble to our people.
When a local builds a small house, the MMC is quick to act and even sends police and staff to stop the work. But here, large-scale activities have begun without permissions, damaging water pipelines and leaving residents without supply. Since the Chief Officer and Chairperson are not answering our questions, we have decided to boycott the meeting,” said Mayekar.
