CANACONA
Deputy Speaker and Canacona MLA Isidore Fernandes appealed to the people of Canacona to come forward and donate whatever possible to provide relief to the flood victims in North Goa.
Fernandes addressed a press conference where he made an appeal to all the Canconcars to donate whatever they can to help the flood victims to overcome their difficulties and lessen their sufferings.
“We request donations in cash or kind. Whatever cash is donated will be added to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and materials will be directly passed on to the needy people,” he said.
We know how our own Canconcars had suffered during the 2009 floods and how people from all over the State reached out to them. Now, it’s our turn to reciprocate.
The donations can be submitted to the respective panchayats (sarpanchas/panchas), CMC (chairperson/councillors) or directly to my Office before 10th August, the deputy speaker appealed. “Besides, I also appeal to the various social organisations, NGOs from Canacona to assist in assembling donations in kind and we will make arrangements to reach it to the deserving people,” he added.
