PATNA: City kids will soon have a multi-storey building for ensuring their mental and physical growth and providing them sufficient recreational facilities. This was decided at a high-level meeting of the officials held under the chairmanship of governor Lalji Tandon at the Raj Bhavan on Thursday.A building called ‘Bal Bhavan’ will be constructed on the land of the Bihar State Council for Child Welfare at Bhawar Pokhar near Khetan Market. It will be built as per the latest provisions of environmental and disaster management and equipped with modern amenities.Tandon has asked the officials concerned to get the building plan finalized at the earliest and begin construction work. He said, “The building should be constructed in such a way that children and elderly people do not face any difficulty in reaching the upper floors, two of which may be put to commercial use. The income earned from it should be spent on construction of a library, computer lab, a cinema hall and badminton court for children. Necessary steps must also be taken to ensure participation of disabled children in all the activities of Bal Bhawan.”Tandon also suggested that the building should be fitted with CCTV cameras and have a cafeteria for children and their guardians. He also pleaded for construction of a special ‘Dada-Pota’ (grandfather-grandchild) chamber in the complex.Representatives of three different agencies explained the details of the building project through PowerPoint presentation. Principal secretary to governor Vivek Kumar Singh, state building construction department chief architect Anil Kumar and senior officials of the Raj Bhavan attended the meeting.
