The Ravindra Bhavan Member Secretary informed that the institution had put up a proposal before the PWD Work Division XXII to prepare estimate for 100 ton AC chiller. “The estimate was prepared costing Rs 71.23 lakh and was forwarded to the government for administrative approval,” Agnelo said, while pointing out that the government has given its administrative approval to carry out further process.

Saying this is indeed good news for tiatr lovers, Agnelo has expressed happiness that the proposal forwarded for an additional 100 ton AC Chiller will be a reality soon. “I am confident that once we install this new AC chiller, the problem of the AC will be solved,” he said.

The Member Secretary said the next item on the agenda is the functioning of the toilets and putting up the canteen facility which is taken up on priority.

He assured the tiatr lovers that RBM will do it’s very best to upgrade the sound facilities of RBM with latest technology. “The Ravindra Bhavan had already forwarded the proposal to replace the existing sound system with a state-of-the-art system in view of frequent complaints of poor quality sound,” he said.

Agnelo said the new Ravindra Bhavan Committee headed by Rajendra Talak will take positive steps to run the RBM with the best possible steps. “We have to assure the tiatr fraternity that we are with them and will solve their problems,” he added.
