We are in a pandemic, with a curfew in force and Section 144 in place while there is a total ban on public gatherings.
Despite this the Goa Government this morning organized a public function at Campal on the occasion of World Environment day where Chief Minister Pramod Sawant was the Chief Guest and spoke about the need of planting and preserving trees. All this rhetoric when his government over the last two years has heartlessly devastated the environment very enormously by allowing hundreds of trees to be chopped while blatant hill cutting and filling of low lying fields is ongoing with political patronage. After all this ruthless degradation of our environment, what audacity does the Chief Minister have to speak about protecting the environment? It was very wrong on the part of the government to hold this needless function today in view of the current restrictions in place. And it is high time Chief Minister Pramod Sawant starts using that mask properly which he keeps on removing while lecturing others to strictly use it. Adv.
