PERNEM
The Covid Task force Committee at Mandrem mobilised a truckload of firewood on Friday and will offer it to those who find it difficult to perform final rites of the Covid deceased in Pernem taluka due to shortage of firewood.
According to the Committee Secretary Adv. Prasad Shahpurkar, the committee said while one truckload of firewood arrived on Friday, another truckload would be mobilised on Saturday.
“Kiran Shirodkar of Mapusa and owner of Heera Farm at Ozari-Pernem donated the firewood free of cost from his farm. We only had to provide transport to shift the firewood,” said Shahpurkar.
The Committee President and Sarpanch Subhash Asolkar, Shanker Govekar, panchayat staff, and others provided assistance to unload the truck.
