Ravindra Bhavan in Canacona Suffers Water Damage After Inauguration
Imagine a brand new community center opened recently.
It rained a lot, and water started leaking inside.
The library inside got wet, and some books might be ruined.
The people in charge had to stop an event because of the water.
Some people are upset and blaming the government for not building it well.
They say the building wasn't ready when they opened it, and now it's falling apart.
They are worried about how much money was spent on something that isn't working properly.

The library on the first floor, managed by the state department of art and culture, was affected.
A tiatr show was canceled due to the severity of the water intrusion.
