Chandigarh, March 10
The city will have its first community centre-cum-sports complex with a swimming pool in Mayor Ravi Kant Sharma’s ward in Sector 16.
No other community centre has a swimming pool. It will also have a table tennis and badminton hall and provision for lawn tennis. Besides, there will be rooms that will serve the purpose of an MC guest house. The centre will have several state-of-the-art facilities.
“The existing building will be dismantled and a new one will be built. We have approved the project and will incorporate whatever facilities are feasible,” the Mayor told Chandigarh Tribune.
This centre, known as Rose Club, was used only by government officers for retirement or other functions. The MC said since it was located in a residential area, people objected to holding of outdoor public functions. Thus, it was not open for booking.
However, a number of requests had been received from the Residents Welfare Association to open it for the general public.
The building was renovated in 2010, but due to inadequate space, big functions were not possible, causing a loss of revenue to the civic body.
“Once the new facility is ready, we will open it for the public as there will be a soundproof hall for holding functions,” said the Mayor.
MC to open banquet hall
The MC will open its first banquet hall at its existing public health store in the Industrial Area, Phase 1. The matter will be raised with the Department of Urban Planning for earmarking land for the purpose.
Besides, the community centres at Sector 29 and Thakur Dwara in Mani Majra will be reconstructed. A community centre will be constructed in Sector 24 and additions and alterations will be carried out at the Sector 22 centre. All these agenda items were approved by the MC House on Tuesday.
