Osia building was at one time the most prestigious commercial building in Margao but now it’s condition has literally gone for a toss. Wet, dirty passages with gutka stains, feral dogs lurking in the corridors waiting to pounce upon an unsuspecting person, restaurants with gas cylinders kept in the open posing a danger to passersby, broken railings, moss covered walls, peeling plaster, sewage water collected on the outside and many other problems besides make this probably the most dangerous building to be conducting business out of.
The arcade houses government offices too but no one seems to be interested in taking responsibility for the upkeep of the building. Will the Margao Municipal Corporation atleast take on the onus of the building facility management?
