Bhonsle Square buildings in Panaji are not safe

Everyday I go for a cup of tea at Cafe Bhonsle, I notice that the buildings near this cafe  are not safe. Today I saw a ladder with number of workers on the job of repairing the relatively tall dilapidated building sideways.  We customers all feel this particular building is on the verge of collapsing. I enquired with some shop owners at the ground level of the Cafe Bhonsle building who are still running their business there if they are not concerned.

But customers of this Cafe Bhonsle are more worried that any time this building which is in danger may collapse and fall on them. It is shocking that repairs are being attempted in the rains instead of being done more in advance. Recently on July 5 an adjacent shop which was given on rent had a short circuit and whole shop was burnt including their new furniture. I enquired with many shops close by whether CCP or government authorities approached them to shift in case of any eventuality. They said none of these government officials nor even Collector has approached them.
