-- Samir Umarye PANAJI OCT 30: The state election commission has ordered attachment of the Ford Figo car belonging to the Bicholim municipal council on Saturday after its chief officer “refused” to release it for use of election duty and in lieu of it sent another vehicle used for garbage collection to be used by poll officials.
The assistant returning officer for the BMC elections had sent a requisition note to the chief officer of the BMC urging him to release the vehicle for use of poll officials for two days – Saturday and Sunday. The BMC chief officer by a letter addressed to the assistant letter refused to release the vehicle with an endorsement that it could not be done and informed that another vehicle bearing registration number GA01-T1640 would be sent instead. On Saturday morning the driver of BMC, Mr Sunil Parab reported to the assistant returning officer with vehicle bearing registration number GA01-T1640 and it was found by poll official that the vehicle was the one used for garbage collection by the council. The assistant returning officer then reported the matter to the SEC and sought further direction following which the secretary to the commission directed that the Figo car be attached and kept in the custody of the polling officials for four-five days.(NT) _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
