Subject: [IAC#RG] LOCK-DOWN MUST CONTINUE BUT SUPPLY OF FOOD ITEMS MUST BE ENSURED

 

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the 21- day lock-down he had solemnly assured the nation that as part of the essential services all the grocery stores and supermarkets would be compulsorily kept open round the clock to facilitate people procure their food commodities while maintaining social distancing.

Despite this clear and stern directive, that order is being flouted with impunity by many who are keeping their premises closed for reasons best known to them. This is causing needless grave inconvenience to the public across Goa. 

While most authorized shops remained closed, several illegal stalls across Goa have surfaced along the roads and in various building premises. The quality of the unaccountable stuff sold by them illegally is questionable. Infact the Food & Drugs Administration and local bodies should act against this entire illegal trade going on without the due permissions required by law.

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had assured stern action against the shops that remain closed during the lock-down. So the authorities must step in and take deterrent action against those grocery stores and supermarkets that are violating the Central government directives by not being open. May be its time to crack the whip and seal all such premises and further penalize them in accordance with law so that these offenders are brought to book. If these businesses think they are not good enough to open during a time of need their licences ought to be permanently cancelled.
