    Goa Shopkeeper Punished For Supporting Pakistan Cricket Team !!

    I am from Goa and have never heard of this incident. A lot of vloggers stage acts to make their videos viral. By the way Calangute is predominantly a Christian area with very few Muslims, so there is no Muslim area as such.

    U.S. reports nearly 1 mln COVID-19 cases in a day, setting global record

Omicron is virulent but weak, and most people recover within 2 to 4 days. Once this wave...
