Chandigarh, November 8

Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Banwarilal Purohit inaugurated an auditorium at Rani Lakshmi Bai Mahila Bhawan in Sector 38 here today.

Purohit congratulated the MC for creating a highly innovative, thoughtful and modern auditorium, “which is going to be the hub of socio-cultural activities in future”.

Addressing the gathering virtually, MP Kirron Kher said women shouldered critical responsibilities even in India’s struggle for freedom. The history of Indian freedom struggle would be incomplete without mentioning the contributions by women.

Mayor Ravi Kant Sharma said the structure of the auditorium building spread on 1.3 acre was constructed in 2015. Now, the furnishing work was carried out with state-of-art facilities to make it functional, he added.

Earlier, former Mayor and area councillor Arun Sood welcomed all the guests. He said the main aim of opening the auditorium was to promote cultural and traditional activities, particularly in southern sectors of the city.

Cultural programmes were organised on the occasion. UT Adviser Dharam Pal, MC Commissioner Anindita Mitra were also present at the event.
