Should we be wasting our resources on celebrations?

| DECEMBER 04, 2020, 12:53 AM IST


In yet another action demonstrating government’s misdirected and frankly doubtful priorities, Rs 100 crore is sought to be spent on Goa Liberation Day celebrations. 

A cash strapped government, which is continuously increasing Goa’s debts, is wanting to fritter away the already scant resources. 

While there is a glaring lack of infrastructure should we be wasting our resources on celebrations? 

With the raging pandemic, shouldn’t our priorities be health care affordable to common man, RT-PCR tests at subsidised costs?  Our infrastructure - roads, garbage disposal and a host of others are begging for attention. 

The electorate needs to keep in mind such frivolous actions of the government during our next opportunity to get better governance.
