People are living in fear and with great anxiety.  It’s a sense of deep concern and despair all over.

This government has brazenly and heartlessly been pursuing and pushing needless projects to Goa’s detriment and degradation of our already very fragile environment.  

With proper urgent measures, driven by expert medical and scientific advice and determined resolve and leadership against Coronavirus, we can and must win this battle. We cannot allow our beautiful State to meet the fate of the Titanic.
