Mayuri Gawas new Navelim sarpanch

Bicholim: Mayuri Gawas has been unanimously elected as the new sarpanch of the seven-member Navelim village panchayat in Bicholim taluka. The election was held on Friday at the village panchayat hall.

Gawas being the only nominee for the post, was declared elected unopposed by presiding officer Navanath Amre.



The post had fallen vacant after former sarpanch Manila Gawas tendered her resignation last month.

The meeting was attended by Manila, deputy sarpanch Rohidas Kansekar and panchas Narayan Gawas, Khushali Naik, Digambar Naik and Namrata Gawas. Also present was panchayat secretary Hanumant Borkar.

The members also observed a minute’s silence to pay homage to former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his first death anniversary.
