1.The Goa fort at Harne in said taluka is standing bearing the brunt of the sea waves. After the wear and tear of the fort’s fortifications in some places, the government and the Archaeology Department took up the repair work of this fort as repairs were required in some places.

2.The repair work of the fort’s fortifications was started in May after the government sanctioned lakhs of rupees for the work. The repair work has now collapsed and the old fortifications of the fort are still standing strong.

Editorial Perspective

Action is expected to be taken against the contractors and concerned officials who are behind shoddy repair work of the forts with historical heritage !
