CURCHOREM: Curchorem MLA Nilesh Cabral on Friday laid the foundation stones for the sports complex and extension of Ravindra Bhawan in Curchorem.
Others present at the two functions included Curchorem-Cacora Municipal Council Chairperson Sushant Naik, BJP Block president Ashok Naik and other councillors.
Speaking on the occasion, Cabral said the two projects were needed as students had been excelling in curricular and extra curricular activities in Curchorem.
“People have been frequently demanding the extension of the Ravindra Bhawan due to space constraints and limited facilities. The extension project, valued at about Rs 20 crore, will be completed in two phases and will include additional seating capacity, better illumination to the auditorium and construction of an Amphitheatre,” informed Cabral.
The Curchorem MLA also laid the foundation stone for the sports complex to be constructed at a cost of about Rs 55.10 crore. The project will have separate parking space for two-wheelers and four-wheelers, facilities for swimming, badminton, squash, volleyball, table tennis, chess and carrom.
The sports complex will also have a fitness centre, running track, cricket practice pitch, recreational facilities for senior citizens and a multipurpose hall to accommodate about 3,000 people.
