MAPUSA: North Goa District Congress Committee urged election commission to make provision of casting vote digitally in view of rise in COVID-19 cases.
“What’s happening in UK and the US should not be repeated here. Imagine a situation where election officials or the entire leadership of a political party contracts COVID or an entire battalion of police contracts COVID. There will be no one left to even carry out essential services,” North Goa Congress President Vijay Bhike said.
