The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the entire world and Goa is not an exception. The number of cases is increasing by the day and considering the importance of awareness among the general public of this deadly virus and the precautions to be taken to protect the community, the Collectorate office at North Goa has begun Covid-19 awareness campaign in the entire district.
Pradeep Anand Naik, a renowned performing artist from Goa who has acted in plays, tiatrs and films was chosen by the Collectorate to do this awareness on war foot basis to control and contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The collectorate has given the responsibility to cover North Goa district to Pradeep who is an official from the directorate of Art and Culture. He began his campaign on July 24 and is carrying out the responsibility in nooks and corners of Tiswadi, Bardez, Pernem, Bicholim and Sattari talukas under the guidance of Mamlatdars of the concerned talukas.
“I have already covered one round in all talukas of North Goa district and last week I combed this area in my second round in Tiswadi taluka where Carambolim, Corlim, Old Goa, Cumbarjua, St Estevam, Golti Navelim, Sao Mathais, Chorao, Taleigao, Mandur, Azosim, Neura, Agasaim, Merces, St Cruz, Curca along with other different and main areas under Panjim Municipality have been covered.
