Margao Buildings: Safety Concerns and Bureaucratic Inaction

In Margao, India, old buildings are falling apart, putting people in danger.

The local government is arguing about who should fix it.

The city council says they can't do anything because they don't have the power or money, and they blame the state.

The district's leader disagrees, saying the city should act.

Old laws make it too expensive for owners to fix up their buildings.

Because of this, buildings keep getting worse while officials argue about what to do.

Even though buildings are unsafe, new businesses are being allowed to open in them, which is also not good.
