Vande Mataram hall to be run by municipal corporation

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Vande Mataram hall in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, which was constructed at a cost of Rs 36 crore, will be transferred to the municipal corporation. The corporation will run the hall with the help of a private contractor.

The hall has an amphitheatre, a small auditorium, a museum hall and a large parking lot. The technical education department has made the rent of the hall up to one and a half lakhs, so no one is ready to come forward for the programmes.

The hall will be given to the municipal corporation on the condition that the rates are kept affordable to various institutions, organizations and educational institutions.
