The Story in Brief
Chandigarh's Sector 29 will get a modern community centre worth ₹7 crore. Punjab governor and UT administrator Gulab Chand Kataria laid its foundation stone on Wednesday. Municipal commissioner Amit Kumar, former mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla, and senior officers attended.
Speaking at the event, Kataria said the building symbolises a stronger, more connected community. He argued a city's identity depends not just on infrastructure but on spaces where residents can meet and share life events.
The Indian Opinion
Another foundation stone, another speech about community bonding. But will this centre actually solve the shortage of affordable event spaces in Chandigarh's middle-class sectors? Residents have long complained that existing halls are too expensive or poorly maintained. The real test will come once the building is ready: does the MC set transparent booking rates and upkeep standards? Or will the centre become another padlocked asset waiting for a renovation in a decade? Watch for the tender process.
