CANACONA: Canacona leader Janardhan Bhandari has expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of the Ravindra Bhavan at Canacona, highlighting several issues that have plagued the facility since its opening.
Bhandari outlines a series of problems that are hindering the full potential of Ravindra Bhavan, a cultural and community hub in Canacona. The tweet invites supporters to join a demand for the immediate restoration of all facilities at the venue, scheduled for January 30, 2025.
Ravindra Bhavan, intended to be a vibrant cultural centre, has faced numerous operational challenges. According to Bhandari, the air-conditioning system is inadequate, the audio setup frequently malfunctions, and power cuts during events are common, raising questions about the functionality of the generators. Additionally, the canteen remains non-functional, and the presence of an electric transformer in front of the building is seen as a necessity for relocation. The extra costs incurred for staging shows due to the lack of proper curtains, have also been highlighted as uneconomical.
Moreover, Bhandari pointed out that the Ravindra Bhavan Committee, essential for the management and oversight of the facility, has not been constituted yet. This oversight has likely contributed to the myriad issues faced by the venue.
The authenticity of Bhandari’s tweet has been verified through his official social media account. His involvement in community affairs and advocacy for local development projects lends credibility to his concerns.
