The Bombay High Court bench in Goa on Tuesday slammed the district administration for modifying its order on making Covid negative certificates mandatory for persons entering the state.
The HC order comes a day after the state s two District Magistrates issued an order making it mandatory for tourists only to carry Covid negative certificates, even as the HC last week had directed them to make Covid negative certificates to everyone entering the state.
A statement issued by the South Goa Advocates Association, one of the primary petitioners, said that the Advocate General of Goa Devidas Pangam had assured the Court that the administrative orders would be modified and would be consistent with the orders of the HC .
