MARGAO: It’s now over a fortnight since the monsoon had set in the state, but strange it may seem,   
but true that the Margao fire brigade has finally received labourers from the Margao Municipal Council only on Thursday.   
While Civic bodies, including Cuncolim, Quepem, Curchorem had made available labourers to the fire brigade to assist the fire services in times of emergencies during the monsoon.   
When The Goan contacted MMC Chairperson Babita Angle Prabhduesai to shed light on the delay in making available Municipal labourers to the fire brigade, the Chairperson attributed the delay to the absence of a full-fledged Chief officer in the Council.
