It is pertinent to note that the market complex has turned dangerous for people to move due to leakages.
Viraj Sapre, a social worker from Ponda said, “The roof of the complex should be repaired immediately as several people visit the fair price shops in the market.”
He said, “PMC should carry out urgent roof maintenance work as it is festival time and many people visit the market. It may prove fatal one day. Beside this, stray dogs and cattle roam freely on the mezzanine floor and cause nuisance to people visiting the complex”.
He called upon the civic body to clean the complex on a regular basis.
