The president of Porvorim Block Congress Committee Shankar Phadte alleged that after the first COVID case came to light, there were many cases registered in Porvorim like Highland bungalow, Alto-Torda in Porvorim area but no lockdown has been done till date.

He said then came the Patel estate case where the person was admitted in GMC before that he stayed at Betim and now the Paithona case came up and in Defense Colony too.

Phadte questioned whether the person who came from Delhi followed the SOP, throat swabs taken for testing when there were sweepers, security guard, and gardeners working in those bungalows. Phadte said that he wrote a letter to the village panchayat of Penha de Franca in this regard.

“There was no social distance nor sanitisation done but there is a demand for a lockdown in Paithona. Awareness on COVID amongst the residents can be done but politicians are demanding a lockdown,’’ he said.
