The opposition leader Digambar Kamat while welcoming the government decision to extend the ‘janata curfew’ period has appealed to goverment to take care of daily needs of people and ensure that no one remains hungry in this period.
“Goan’s have responded positively to ‘janata curfew’ today. Such preventive measures on Covid-19 virus need to continue,” said Digambar Kamat in his statement.
“As it is now clear that social distancing is the only effective step in controlling the spread of Coronavirus, the need to extend the ‘janata curfew’ is the right decision. I appeal to all to follow the government directives and remain safe at all times,” Kamat has said while supporting government decision.
However Kamat has appealed to that Government to ensure supply of essential commodities for day-to-day living. “It is important to ensure that supply of basic essential commodities like milk and vegetables are made available to the people regularly,” Kamat said.
Government should take steps in that direction and also make arrangements to see that no one remains hungry in Goa, Kamat demanded.
The former chief minister has also suggested that the government should also contemplate on giving financial package to those who survive on daily wages. While giving his advice to the Pramod Sawant government, Kamat has said that Government should forms a task force of medical experts from Civil Society and Army to handle the Coronavirus threat.
“Immediate steps needs to be taken in that direction with proper facilities to be put in place at various hospitals in Goa”, Kamat said.
“Let us get prepared for worst-case scenario to ensure safety of all. I appeal to all to maintain peace and calm and take utmost precautions with self hygiene. Let us all resolve to defeat this Coronavirus with self discipline and self control,” said Kamat in his statement.
