The under-construction building of the Panchkula Municipal Corporation in Sector 3 here will be inaugurated in January next year.

Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal stated this after inspecting the construction work of the building. He expressed dissatisfaction over the slow pace of construction work. He said the building was to be inaugurated in January. So, work on the project should be expedited.

Goyal said at present people have to travel from one place to another for their work. The building should be constructed as soon as possible so as to save people’s time and money.

Vijay Goel, superintending engineer of the MC, told the Mayor that the lintel of the fourth floor of the building had been laid and the structure would be completed within a month. After this, furnishing work of the building would be started. The building was expected to cost around Rs30 crore and was being constructed by Vasu Construction.

XEN Sanjeev Gupta, SDO Ravindra Singh and JE Sandeep Dhiman were also present on the occasion.

Goyal, who visited the site for the third time after being elected as a Mayor, said the new building would have all departments of the MC under one roof. At present, the MC was functioning from two sites – Sector 14 and Sector 4. Apart from the basement, a four-storeyed eco-friendly building would be built here where different facilities would be available. The corporation has tied up with the Indian Green Bidding Council, Hyderabad, to implement the rating system of the building code.
