I am confident that the entire renovation work should be complete before the October 30 deadline, unless is some problem”, Kamat said, adding “If everything works as per the schedule, the Ravindra Bhavan will resume programmes from the first week of November.

The system has indeed worked to ensure better coordination”, he added.
