Covid cases are rising in our tiny state of Goa and all the newspapers report that the crisis is worsening in this state. This could be the failure to curb entry in the borders and crowding on all the beaches of Goa. The weddings and entertainment halls including cinema theatres are also seeing large crowds. The Government must take strict measures to implement directions to authorities such as Police, Municipalities, Panchayats and Corporation to supervise and stop crowds assembling in large numbers. Also I have seen near my residence hundreds of people everyday and even after late hours crowding for jobs with Health Minister Viswajit Rane encouraging and allowing them to attend interviews inside his Bunglow at Dona Paula. Similarly every politician is suddenly trying to help the voters in their area to get jobs without realising the crowds are getting larger and larger which surely will affect the virus spread in Goa. This must be curtailed immediately before an alarming situation worsens in this state. It lies on our Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to give such directives to his politicians to stop encouraging crowds seeking jobs. Applications for jobs should be entertained only by government authorities through proper channels and not by politicians at their residences.
