Canacona Civic Body to Cut Utilities for Unpaid House Tax
The Canacona Municipal Council (CMC) is taking action because many people haven't paid their house taxes.
The CMC plans to ask the electricity and water departments to cut off services to those who owe money.
Only a small portion of houses pay their taxes regularly.
The CMC is also working on garbage collection.
The old contract ended, and they're trying again to get a new one so residents can have their trash picked up.
They also discussed cleaning drains before the monsoon, as it hadn't been done yet.
Canacona Municipal Council (CMC) will request disconnection of utilities for unpaid house tax.
70% of houses in Canacona are in arrears for over 5 years despite notices.
CMC is facing issues with garbage collection, with the previous contract ending.
CMC is re-tendering for door-to-door garbage collection.
Pre-monsoon cleaning of gutters and drainages was reportedly incomplete, leading to waterlogging.
