MARGAO:Just three
weeks after the refurbished Pai Tiatrist hall at Ravindra Bhavan was reopened,
water started leaking from the ceiling onto the stage. The canteen area too
witnessed water seepage on Saturday. This appears to be a repeat of the leakage
at the Kala Academy, Panjim, where the auditorium was leaking when a tiatr was
going on.
When asked about the substandard work, the Chairperson of
Ravindra Bhavan Margao Rajendra Talak stated that all the renovation works are
completed and only a few drops of rain leakage are reported, which will be tackled
soon.
“Installation of air conditioners, renovation of toilets and
repairing of lights are all done. The remaining tenders are in process since
the elections are over. The new works are going on. Waterproofing of all
buildings, including the main auditorium top roof is completed. We are seeing
that every facility is being provided and people are comfortable,” Talak stated.
The chairperson further highlighted that the media never
focuses on the positive progress done in the Ravindra Bhavan, “The parking lot
issue is cleared, wherein facility for entering and exiting of the vehicles is
provided. Media never sheds light on such matter.”
Talak also stated that the water leakage is seen only on one
part of the stage. This is because the roofing work is still in progress and
now due to the rains leakage is inevitable. “Ravindra Bhavan committee and
Ravindra Bhavan staff are known for prompt action” assured the Chairman.
