He said the municipal corporation had made access to the community centre easier by framing people-friendly bylaws. He further said there would be trainers in the gymnasium as well as for other games and a librarian in the libraries where required.
Also, the community centre has an air-conditioned hall with a modular kitchen, office room, library with computer facility and a card room among other facilities. A jan sampark centre will be made operational shortly and booking of the community centre for marriage purposes and other programmes will be started soon.
