Dear Sanjit Rodrigues Commissioner of CCP Panaji In this present Govt democratic set up whatever the Government takes up a decision it has always been allowed and implemented. There is no choice for the Aam Admi to give or file for any objections, as mostly decisions are already been made in advance. Now, since the new Mayor of CCP Panaji is chosen along with the Dy Mayor, we welcome them to occupy their chairs and work for the betterment of Panjimites which was lacking earlier. There are several issues cropping up and also which are not been tackled by the previous panel groups, I expect that these new incumbents will work in the interest of Panjimites. Let me say that the earlier Mayor was not a computer friendly and hence he never answered any mails sent to him and also from the general public and hence the work or suggestions were not being executed. At least now, we hope that this new Mayor will be able to take up the challenge and execute or complete all the pending works which are not been taken up whether on account of financial or some other reasons and hope that he clears up all the pending projects especially like St Ines Creek, garbage, bad roads, sewerage project, city parking , casinos, some illegal high rise constructions approved by PDA and CCP having no parking, permanent parked old cars on roads, illegal advertisement boards and gone case ancient buildings to be raised and use the space in the public interest. At the same time, we expect that the all existing military buildings including military Hospital in the city of Panjim to get them shifted at the outskirts of Panjim away from the city and may utilize this space after raising them for the construction of double storage parking for vehicles. Heritage buildings to be preserved and maintained at all costs. Will this new Mayor start corresponding with the public on e-mails instead of people writing them letters by post so that the work could go smooth and at higher speed? And what will be the contacts numbers of telephones and e-mails of this new Mayor and the Commissioner of CCP?
