Corporation of the City of Panaji website lists predecessors as mayor; deputy

PANAJI: Despite chief minister ManoharParrikar stating in his 2012 Budget that e-governance and IT would be given a renewed thrust with departments undertaking an IT initiate every few months, it seems this is not being taken seriously with even simple tasks like updating of websites not being undertaken.

A week after Surendra Furtado was elected as the new mayor of Panaji and Bento Lorena as deputy mayor, the official Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) website lists their predecessors Vaidehi Naik as mayor and Tony Rodrigues as deputy mayor under the elected members section. Furtado and Lorena were elected as mayor and deputy mayor on April 4, though the election was initially slated for March 20.

Incidentally, even the message from the mayor was not updated since the creation of the website and this section on the homepage of the website displays a "coming soon" label and carries Naik's name, although her term ended nearly a month ago.
