Following a steep rise in COVID-19 cases in poll-bound Goa during the year-end festivities, the State government on Monday finally imposed a night curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the coastal State.
The decision was taken by Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant at the State Task Force’s meeting on COVID-19 today.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s delay in enforcing curfew regulations has quickly snowballed into a burning political issue in the poll-bound States, with several Opposition parties including the Congress, accusing Mr. Sawant of recklessly “playing with people’s lives” by ushering in the New Year without any curbs, despite clear evidence of mounting infections since December 25 last year.
