Union Minister Harsh Vardhan today inaugurated a new two-storey municipal community centre in Civil Lines area in north Delhi.
The centre has been developed by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) in an area of 1,333.26 sqm with an approximate cost of Rs 2.1 crore, the civic body said.
Each floor on the facility has one hall, one office room and two toilet blocks each. The first floor also has a separate toilet for the differently abled.
While opening the facility in Azadpur Colony, Union Minister of Science and Technology Harsh Vardhan said, "The community centre would definitely help local residents in organising their social and other functions at nominal charges."
"The services in the centre should be equally good as the building is," he said.
Chairman of NDMC's Civil Lines Zone Poonam Bhardwaj said the community centre services would be provided to citizens at reasonable charges so that people of poor strata can also afford it.
She said now the local residents don't need to go to other areas for conducting their social functions like marriages.
