A month back, Vasco Police Station PSI Diogo Gracias made it to the headlines for making a parody of the Konkani Song 'Tuzo Mog Kithlo Ashelom'. He transformed the song into a coronavirus song that asked people to follow the guidelines laid out by the government and stay at home. 

While speaking to the media, Diogo detailed the efforts he put into the song. He said he tried to bring in various elements in the song like how the virus spreads and how we can control it. Diogo said it took him a day to re-write the original song and learn the new lyrics.
