PONDA: The front side wall of Farmagudi Fort dedicated to Chatrapapti Shivaji collapsed on Friday night due to heavy rainfall.
The remaining portion of the wall is also on verge of collapse and needs urgent government attention.
According Ramdas Naik, a local, the wall collapsed due to lack of maintenance work; former Shiv Sena leader Kamlakanth Naik too is of the same opinion.
