Bapu Sewa Kendra to get hydraulic parking system
Hindustan TimesThe New Delhi Municipal Council will be providing a renewed push to complete its ongoing redevelopment project of the historic Bapu Sewa Kendra, as the civic body has also decided to build a hydraulic parking system for the centre which earlier used to witness social events and skill development classes, senior NDMC functionaries have said. The civic body has also invited bids for development of the hydraulic parking system at the centre which is expected to cater to around 110 vehicles at a time, a senior NDMC functionary said. “Besides the ongoing development work, we will hire an agency for installation of pit parking hydraulic systems for around 100 vehicles as well as its operation and maintenance work for four years,” the official added. “The council has already started upgrading the building into an auditorium by providing seating tiers in the main hall with the provision of lifts, along with two new blocks on either side of the building.” Another senior NDMC official said that a large number of Valmiki families used to live in slums close to the temple and worked as sweepers in areas such as Gole Market and Connaught Place.
