Municipality to absorb ex-p’yat workers
PANAJI: The Cabinet approved a decision to absorb the services of 12 employees of the now defunct Sanquelim village panchayat into the municipality.
Chief minister Digambar Kamat said that the government has only fulfilled their long-pending demand by deciding to absorb their services in the Sanquelim municipal council. The employees include two library officials, a peon, a driver and some workers.
Sources told TOI that it was health minister Vishwajeet Rane, who is also the MLA of Valpoi, who pursued the matter with the chief minister and took it to the logical conclusion.
