Remember sacrifices of freedom fighters: Sudin
PONDA: PWD Minister Sudin Dhavalikar advised youngsters to never forget the sacrifices made by freedom fighters, especially those who did not live to witness Goa’s liberation.
Dhavalikar was speaking at the Liberation Day programme organized at Kranti Maidan. Ponda MLA Lavoo Mamledar, Deputy Collector Johnson Fernandes, PMC Vice Chairperson Shantaram Kolvekar, DySP Sunita Sawant, freedom fighters and others were present on the occasion.
“Freedom fighters sacrificed their lives and hence we could get free from Portuguese colonial regime. We should never forget them. The space at Kranti Maidan will be utilized to display information on such freedom fighters,” he said.
He praised Goa's first chief minister Dayanand Bandodkar, saying that he played a vital role in education. “Due to his efforts, schools were set up all over the State and to eradicate poverty and unemployment, he invited industries into Goa,” the minister said. He said further that the foundation stone for the Zuari bridge would be laid soon and that the Khandepar bridge would be completed within a year.
