Right opposite the Holy Trinity Church at Benaulim is a transformer enclosure with dozens of flex signboards fixed on it throughout the year.
The material used for these banners ie PVC fasteners, self adhesive vinyl, sunboard/foam sheets, solvent printing inks etc are highly combustible which could go up in flames in the off-chance that a spark from the transformer or any other external source lands on it.
There could be casualties if a major fire occurs. The area sees lot of traffic due to a school, a bank, commercial establishments in the vicinity and the church itself.
We are already witness to the recent Delhi fire tragedy, the Bihar hospital inferno and closer home the Birch disaster. I would request the authorities to remove these banners as a public safety measure.
