MARGAO, March 28 -- Team Herald

A group of concerned citizens and taxpayers from Margao staged a protest outside the Margao Municipal Council (MMC) building, opposing the proposed hike in taxes and fees.

The protest saw strong participation from Congress functionaries Orville Rodrigues, Rajan Ghate, Moreno Rebello, and Milagris Fernandes, along with Goa Forward Party members Dilip Prabhudesai, Mohandas Lolienkar, and Dr. Babita Angle. Several MMC councillors, traders, house and shop owners, and other prominent citizens also joined the demonstration.

Savio Coutinho strongly criticized the BJP-led Municipal Council and Margao MLA Digambar Kamat, accusing them of insensitivity toward already burdened traders and taxpayers.
