It is learnt that the air-conditioning issue plaguing the Ravindra Bhavan at Margao has been resolved with the Art and Culture Minister Govind Gaude inaugurating a new 60-ton chiller at the complex.
This comes as good news for tiatr lovers residing in Margao and the vicinity. The minister also said the Ravindra Bhavan has proposed an additional chiller which will help tide over future problems plaguing the cultural institution. The auditorium has again restarted. This is a welcome step.
But then what about the auditorium at Ravindra Bhavan in Baina which has been non-operational for several months ostensibly because of the non-functioning air-conditioning system?
There are several tiatr lovers in Vasco who are deprived of watching Konkani dramas and they are forced to travel to Margao to watch the shows at the Ravindra Bhavan there.
When an additional chiller has been proposed as stand-by for the Ravindra Bhavan in Margao, why can’t the air-conditioner at the Bhavan in Baina be repaired or replaced?
Vascoites should not be deprived of entertainment in the form of Konkani tiatrs and other cultural programs.
