Goa Minister Addresses Mapusa Municipality Staff Shortage

Vishwajit Rane, the Town and Country Planning Minister, acknowledged that many municipalities in Goa don't have enough staff.

He said the government will assess the staff shortages and create new jobs to fix the problem.

A common system for municipalities, which has been delayed for years, would help too.

The minister was speaking at the opening of a newly renovated building in Mapusa.

Local leaders mentioned that the lack of staff was slowing down important projects.

One councilor, however, skipped the opening, saying the building wasn't properly approved because it lacked necessary certificates.
