On the 71st Independence Day Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said that Goans were getting hooked on to drugs due to frustrations as a result of unemployment.



He said that the government would try and find some solutions to this issue.

Parrikar called on Goans to stop using plastic bags to carry their goods. This would help the government in its endeavor to make the state garbage free.

In Margao, Collector Anjali Sherawat spoke on the independence day and its meaning.
