Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat on Sunday urged Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to release daily stock report on availability of medical oxygen, medicines like Remdesivir and Covid vaccines to avoid fear and panic in the minds of the people.
He said it is important that government keep the people updated on its preparedness with rising Covid cases in Goa.
“There are reports of shortage of oxygen as well as medicines to treat Covid patients in Goa. It is the responsibility of the Government that adequate stocks are maintained to take care of any emergency. Government needs to show complete transperancy about its plan of action to handle the current Covid situation”, Kamat said.
He said vaccination drive must be carried after taking all MLAs and other elected representatives into confidence, saying the government should not politicise the vaccination drive and maintain fairness with all.
“It is important that the Government initiate some pro-active steps to control the influx of people from other states. The priority of Government should be "Health is Wealth" and not the other way round,” he added.
