On Thursday, Vasco MLA Carlos Almeida, Vasco councillor Krishna Salkar, and member of Goa Heritage Action Group (GHAG) Prajal Sakhardande performed rituals at the site to formally start the restoration work, which is expected to commence within a week.
“The clock tower is Vasco’s heritage symbol, and it’s great that it will be repaired soon. It will surely bring back memories of when many people relied on the clock. We are glad that we achieved success in preserving one of Vasco’s monuments,” said Salkar.
