ESMA Extended in Goa's Pharmaceutical Sector for Another 6 Months

The Goa Government has extended the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) in the pharmaceutical sector for an additional six months, prohibiting strikes and work stoppages across pharma manufacturing, packaging, distribution, and transportation services.

The move aims to ensure an uninterrupted supply of medicines and protect public health. While industry bodies have welcomed the decision as necessary for maintaining production and stability, labour unions continue to raise concerns over workers' rights and collective bargaining.

As one of India's leading pharmaceutical hubs, Goa plays a crucial role in medicine production, making the sector vital not only for the state but for the country's healthcare system.

The Centre has assured that the interests of Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra will be protected in the ongoing Mhadei river dispute. Union Minister of State for Jal Shakti V. Somanna stated that discussions between the states are underway and that the Central Government is committed to safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.

The Mhadei River remains a lifeline for Goa, supporting drinking water supply, agriculture, biodiversity, and the Mandovi River ecosystem. While the Centre has reiterated its balanced approach, concerns over the Kalasa-Banduri project continue to remain at the heart of the debate.
