Don’t throng shops to buy mangoes & fish in the wake of lockdown: Goa CM Pramod Sawant

PANAJI: Goans tend to “go crazy” when it comes to mangoes and fish, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Saturday, urging them not to throng vendors selling the king of fruits and fish and maintain social distancing in the wake of the nationwide lockdown that is in place to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

The plea from Sawant comes at a time when the state government appears to have failed to home deliver essential commodities to most parts of Goa and grocery stores in the state are closed due to dearth of stock.

“Goans tend to go crazy when it comes to mangoes or fish. Do not throng (parked) vehicles carrying cargo of mangoes and fish. This is not safe,” Sawant told a press conference on Saturday. (IANS)
