Mayor Rohit Monserrate-led Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) has all but given up on its ambitious project of a new administrative building by demolishing the current one with just five months of its five-year term remaining.

More than two years have gone by since Chief Minister Pramod Sawant laid the foundation stone for the project and the capital city's civic body has not heard a word from the State government on its formal request to allocate it space to shift its day-to-day functioning so the present CCP building can be demolished and construction started.
