“This is a major milestone in the fight against corona. Every achievement of Goa that epitomises the concept of ‘Ek Bharat - Shreshth Bharat’ fills me with great joy,” said the PM while addressing the people of Goa through a virtual conference a day after his birthday. The Prime Minister remembered the services of Manohar Parikkar on this day of major achievements.
Pointing out that in the last few months, Goa has fought bravely with natural calamities like heavy rains, cyclones, floods, he praised the corona warriors, health workers and team Goa for maintaining the pace of corona vaccination amidst these natural calamities. He commended the kind of coordination that Goa has shown in dealing with social and geographical challenges. “The pace of vaccination in Canacona sub-division, which is located in the remotest parts of the State, sets an example for the rest of the State. Goa has shown the great results of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka, Vishwas and Sabka Prayas,” he said.
