The security booth at Kala Akademy, one of Goa’s leading cultural institutions, is reportedly in a dilapidated state, drawing attention to the lack of regular maintenance and cleanliness on the premises.
Visitors and staff have noted that the booth, which plays a crucial role in overseeing entry and exit at the Akademy, has cracked walls, peeling paint, and an overall unhygienic environment. The deteriorating condition reflects a broader pattern of neglect that threatens to undermine the reputation of this iconic venue in the heart of Panjim.
Despite its central role in hosting performances, exhibitions, and public events, infrastructure upkeep at Kala Akademy appears to be lagging. Stakeholders are now urging the concerned authorities to take immediate corrective steps to restore basic facilities and ensure proper maintenance of the site.
Regular visitors say the condition of the booth not only affects the functionality and safety of the premises but also sets a poor example for tourists and artists who frequent the venue.
