MARGAO
Deputy Chief Minister Chandrakant Kavlekar has on Saturday said that efforts put in by the government headed by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and the selfless work by the officials and corona warriors helped to effectively handle the Covid-19 pandemic in the state.
He was speaking at a programme organised by Shree Dambabalem Ghodem Cultural Association headed by former Fatorda MLA Damu Naik to honour and felicitate the corona warriors, including police and health workers at the Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, on Saturday.
The Deputy Chief Minister said though the Covid-19 pandemic did not spare any country, including the most advanced countries of the world, effective management of the pandemic helped to bring down cases in Goa. “When the pandemic was at its peak and the state was under lockdown, the party machinery also worked full swing, with party president Tanavade personally monitoring the distribution of essentials to the needy people,” Kavlekar added.
BJP President Sadanand Shet Tanavade, in his address, complimented the Covid warriors for giving their selfless service during the entire pandemic. “We have seen how the warriors have worked hard during the pandemic. They have put the society before self and worked hard putting their lives at great risk,” Tanavade said.
In his address, former MLA Damu Naik gave a brief history of the origin of Dambabalem Ghodem Cultural Association around 20 years ago and the number of programmes organized under its banner with the sole purpose of serving the society.
