Goa government's fire disaster management is first of all non-existent, and what is also coming to light now is how poorly equipped the firefighters are. Masks are an absolute essential and the minimum basic for these firefighters to do their jobs properly with minimum health risk to themselves.
It's really a sad state of affairs when a Goa government which keeps on promoting "good governance" can splurge scarce tax payers' money on events and other non-productive activities but cannot even provide masks to the firefighters! Please can I request the Goa Governments to provide these basics to those men on the frontline in the battle against forest fires immediately?
