MARGAO, April 3 -- Team Herald

The Congress block in Margao has strongly criticized the Margao Municipal Council (MMC) for its recent fee hike, calling it unjust and in violation of council resolutions. The new fees, implemented on April 2, have sparked outrage among residents and political leaders alike.

Congress representatives have demanded an immediate halt to the increased fees, describing them as irrational and unfair. In a statement to reporters, they accused the ruling council, local political figures, and current councillors of imposing the hike without considering the financial strain on Margao's residents.

They also condemned the lack of transparency in the decision, arguing that it serves only those in power.
