Despite an alarming continued spurt in the number of new COVID-19 cases across the country, it is a matter of great concern that regular trains have been allowed to come from Delhi's red Zone into Goa which is currently in the Green Zone. Five trains a week will be arriving from the national capital which could be catastrophic. Goa may currently be virus free but there can be no room for complacency as we are battling an unknown vicious enemy that has devastated the entire mankind across the globe.
Over the last few weeks this unprecedented lock-down caused a lot of hardship and inconvenience to all which the brave people endured in the bigger battle against the raging virus. Let us only hope that all this effort does not go in vain while the looming global pandemic shows no signs of tapering down. Allowing trains into Goa at this juncture is a very skewed decision. Government has an obligation and duty to protect its people. Yes, the economy is important, but the wellbeing of the people has to be a priority.
