Ponda’s Civic Chief Proves He Can Lift More Than Files
Mapusa He spends his weekdays lifting the burden of Ponda city’s civic administration. This weekend, Chief Officer of Ponda Municipal Council, Bhimnath P. Khorjuvekar, showed he can lift a lot more. Representing the Department of Urban Development, Khorjuvekar bagged a Gold medal in Powerlifting and a Silver medal in Weightlifting at the State-level Civil Services Tournament. The event was organized by the Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs at the Peddem Sports Complex Mapusa. While most officers participated for recreation, Khorjuvekar dominated the strength events, clinching the top spot in powerlifting and narrowly missing a second gold in weightlifting.
The double podium finish has earned praise for the Urban Development department and put Ponda Municipal Council in the spotlight, not for a civic project, but for the sheer strength of its chief officer.With this feat, Khorjuvekar becomes one of the few serving municipal chief officers in the state to win medals in two strength categories in a single state tournament.
