MARGAO: Stating that the BJP government should start preparation for the likely third wave of COVID, Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat proposed a COVID testing centre at Malbhat on Tuesday.
He urged Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant and Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane to ensure that the same is started immediately.
On Tuesday, he also conducted an inspection of the venue for the proposed COVID Testing Centre at Malbhat with South Goa Deputy Collector Jyoti Kumar, along with joint mamlatdar Raghuraj Faldessai and Talathi Kalpesh Deulkar.
Speaking to the media on the statements of Deputy Chief Minister at the inauguration of the COVID vaccination programme, Kamat said that it is due to my proposal and continuous follow-up with the Collector that the four-day vaccination programme started in Margao.
“I had written to the Collector on April 28 and May 1, 2021, giving names of the locations, where the vaccination camps could be held. I am happy that publicity-hungry BJP got an opportunity to click photos”, Digambar said.
