It is with deep pain and sadness that we read daily about the loss of precious lives in this second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic that has hit hard our nation and Goa. The unprecedented surge in Covid cases and an equally baffling number of deaths is a matter of great concern and needs to be addressed with all urgency, so as to put a stop to the mortality rate that, at the moment sadly stands highest in the country. Through the columns of your daily I wish to salute all those in the frontline of the battle against the deadly virus, who are bravely risking their lives in order to offer life and hope to those infected. Hats off to all those Good Samaritans who, through their gestures of kindness, solidarity and fraternal charity, bring solace, comfort and hope to the afflicted and their distressed families. As one united family, we need to fight the decisive battle against our common enemy, for alone we can do nothing, but together we can win, and so we will.
