MARGAO: Opposition Leader and Margao MLA Digambar Kamat has called upon the people of Goa to gear up to save Mhadei River.
Kamat said, “The people of Goa are presently facing the grave threat of entire Goa getting converted into a desert as the neighbouring State Karnataka is all set to divert the water from our lifeline Mhadei. It is time to gear up to save our Mother Mhadei”.
“There is also the corona virus threat, which is spreading rapidly across the globe and everyone needs to take extreme precautions to control the spread of the infection,” he urged the people.
Kamat, who has his birthday this week, said “It is definitely not the time for celebrations and hence I have decided not to celebrate my birthday this year. I appeal to all to take utmost precautions in view of the spread of coronavirus and get ready to be part of the strong agitation to save Mhadei”.
Digambar informed that he will not be available to personally accept wishes from anyone and appealed to all not to issue any advertisements or display any posters or banners on his birthday.
