Dear Mr. Naik, The last time congress stalwarts went to the court was the time when Goa assembly was dissolved and elections were ordered by the Governor on the advise of the Parrikar Government. The result left a very poor taste. Formation of the corporation is the need of the day, considering the congestion of Panaji and and the needs of Porvorim today. The dispute may be about inclusion or non-inclusion of certain non-urban areas. I think the congress should consider the issue rationally. It should not be made an emotional and Mobocratic issue as it is being made now. Dr. Ramamurti Raut Desai. > WAS A PRIOR NOTIFICATION OF THE GOVERNOR REQUIRED ? > > Amidst the tremendous resistance that Panaji Corporation Bill is facing the Congress Party is preparing its own report through its committee headed by former M.P.
