All the stalls on the way to the fort are being dismantled so that vehicles carrying construction materials for restoration can get easy access.
Construction work on the pathway is being carried out at the 18th century fort.
The fort lies some 700 meters from the Vagator beach in North Goa. It lies on a hill overlooking the Arabian sea, where the Chapora river meets.
Youth visiting the fort never fail to miss their date with adventure at the fort by clicking pictures at their own risk. Many of the laterite stones have become loose posing danger.
Despite warning, tourists too put their lives at risk for clicking photographs.
This is the current status of the ramparts of the fort at one of the ends. Many of the laterite stones have fallen off.
An old gate at the entrance of the fort is still in good condition.
The surroundings of the ramparts are infested with wild growth.
The earlier restoration work failed to bring about any changes at this tourist hotspot. This makeover is expected to restore the fort's glory, according to the Goa government.
