With dengue cases on the rise across the
state, Calangute Sarpanch Joseph Sequeira, has claimed that the health
department and the Public Health Centre have fallen short in their efforts to
address the escalating dengue cases in Calangute.
He emphasized that the Panchayat has taken
measures by conducting sample collections from the village’s residents and
providing them with free medication, which has resulted in financial
expenditures.
