Lopes’ weakening health raises concerns

PANJIM: On Thursday it was four days since the Forum for Right of Children’s Education (FORCE) organising secretary Savio Lopes has been on indefinite hunger strike at Panjim’s Azad Maidan.

Though the medical examination on Thursday showed no alarming results, Lopes is getting weaker each day, raising concerns among other FORCE members.
Resting on the platform at Azad Maidan, Lopes is accompanied by other FORCE members and parents, who are on a chain hunger strike, demanding that the government translate the year-old cabinet decision on the Medium of Instruction (MoI) into an Act during the ongoing assembly session.
