Goa's Public Astronomical Observatory, facing uncertainty for over a year, will be temporarily moved to a PWD building at St Inez after being ordered to vacate its Junta House premises due to safety concerns.

• The observatory will be temporarily shifted to St Inez's PWD building within two weeks.
• The move follows a government decision after rejecting a bus stand location due to light pollution.
• The observatory was ordered to vacate Junta House in April 2025 due to safety concerns from the building's dilapidated condition.
