The Charles Correira Foundation recently cast allegation against the Kala Academy for denial of entry to understand the changes in the interiors and keeping them in the dark. Art and Culture Minsiter, Govind Gaude lashed out at the organization saying, “Who is Charles Correia to dictate Government? Kala Academy is built by Government money and not by Charles Correia. When there is the renovation of a building, it’s not possible to maintain same way it was. There are many buildings under consultancy and every time we don’t need their NoC for renovations.”
He added, “How did they come to know what changes have been made? Even I don’t know what changes have happened. We have recorded the structural changes made. People shouldn’t pay attention to those trying to increase their nuisance value. I am also a professional engineer and builder. I will give something good for Goans and artistes.”
Over denial of permissions inside, “There will be many organizations who will want to enter. We can’t stop our work or they will keep visiting. We are working for the people.”
