New deputy sarpanch for Calangute

CALANGUTE: Pooja Matkar was elected unopposed as deputy sarpanch of the Calangute panchayat on Thursday, after Sudesh Mayekar resigned as per a mutual agreement between the panchas.


She will officiate as acting sarpanch for around a month as sarpanch Shawn Martins will be on leave.

Martins later told reporters that members of the Calangute panchayat have managed to work in unison to get various works done, and that Matkar’s new posting would give her an opportunity to gain administrative experience.

“We need to create new leadership in Calangute,” he said.
