The government has withdrawn the SOPS that allowed only online pujas. But some sections are still upset.



 Why is the government harassing Bhats?  BJP is carrying out huge rallies, and they expect us to follow SOPs, they allege. A video of a priest on the SOPs has gone viral. 

Government had released its SOP for the Ganesh saying priest should not visit house to perform puja. Instead, online puja should be adopted.

If possible people should do puja on their own. The SOP faced a bitter criticism forcing Chief Minister to revoke it.

However, looks as if some priests have taken these suggestions serioulsy.

The markets are full of chovoth items. This market is from Vasco. Not only vendors from Vasco and nearby areas but people from Ponda and Banastarim also visit here to sell their items.

Mormugao municipality had asked people to follow discipline and people were seen following it. Some customers have different reactions on pricing. Listen to them.
