PANAJI: Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte has cautioned the state government against premature easing of the statewide curfew and has urged chief minister Pramod Sawant to lift restrictions only after every Goan is vaccinated.
Pointing out that Goa has a population just shy of 16 lakh, Khaunte said rapid vaccination is achievable within two months.
The MLA has urged Sawant not to put temporary economic gains ahead of precious human lives and to instead focus on vaccinating as many individuals as quickly as possible.
“The government should not lift the curfew till 100% of the people are vaccinated.
I urge and plead with the government that whatever it does, call off the curfew only after Goa is entirely vaccinated.
Only then will we have safety in the long run,” said the independent MLA.
While acknowledging that continuing the curfew would have an economic impact, he urged the government to utilise funds, including the Rs 300 crore received from the Centre, to support those who have lost their livelihoods.
