This is to bring to the notice of all concerned that what our Premier spoke on Wednesday the 25th of this month extending the Curfew to another 21 days was absolutely not a right decision without allowing the public to be ready for this. It was done hurriedly without applying his mind properly or his advisers must have committed a goof. Before the expiry of the then existing Curfew, suddenly on Wednesday the Prime Minister came with another extension effective 23.03.20 for the next 21 days.
It was understood by us that when the then existing Curfew ends on 22.03.20 we would go to Bazar and purchase our necessary requirement especially the food items. But without giving us sufficient space, our Premier came with a big jolt of 21 days Curfew – Lock down - which is to be maintained very rigidly by the Police personnel and since they are doing their jobs very rigidly even sometimes going out of the way, at some places as it was in Caandolim infront of the Church where one local Damiao was severely assaulted by the law and order protectors. Who gave the authority to the policeman to take the law into his own hands? Are we still in Salazarist regime to act like the brute and uncivilized Portuguese Pakles? All the concerned persons and authorities must investigate this matter and CM must answer how this has happened. Can’t we go out to purchase our emergency medicines ?
I am afraid that the law protectors may go out of their way and follow the Salazarist methods to punish irrelevantly the innocents. CM Sawant must give full freedom to people to move freely to purchase their requirements without any hindrance.
