PERNEM: Just as the cases of COVID19 seem to subside, Goa’s worst nightmare is back again – hundreds have labourers have descended at Pernem railway station this morning.
On July 19, 2021, hundreds of workers arrived at Pernem railway station, from Patna, in Bihar. What was shocking was, the locals said there was no checking done of these labourers.
Locals fear that if the unchecked entry is continued at railway stations, the day won’t be far when Goa will see a rise in cases yet again.
Locals also asked why there is no checking on railway stations like the borders. The check post at Patradevi checks for COVID19 certificate or vaccine certificate, but here there is no checking, locals complained.
These labourers have come for sand business, construction of roads and buildings.
