Municipal commissioner Anindita Mitra, area councillor Damanpreet Singh and other MCC officers were also present.

Mayor Dhalor said, “The civil work will focus on revamping the flooring in the main dining hall, corridors, rooms and kitchen area. Additionally, attached washrooms will be constructed in consultation with architects. Water-proofing treatment will be applied to the roof and toilet block and the main hall will be made echo-proof with improved aesthetics. An open kitchen will also be constructed for the use of the general public and the existing toilets will undergo renovation.”

“New plumbing fixtures will be provided, as well as constructing inspection chambers and manholes to ensure proper disposal of grey water. The electrical work will include rewiring, installation of light fixtures, ceiling fans and split AC units to enhance the overall electrical infrastructure and functionality of janj ghar,” Dhalor added.

Area councillor Damanpreet Singh said, “The civic body has carefully planned the renovation work to address the needs of the public. This project aims to create a modern and accessible space for everyone to enjoy and shall be completed by January 2025.”
