Panjab University Begins Phased Opening of Multi-Purpose Auditorium After Delays
Panjab University inaugurated the phased operationalisation of its long-delayed multi-purpose auditorium in Sector 25 with an alumni meet for the University Institute of Engineering and Technology. Originally started in 2009 with a budget of Rs 30 crore, the project faced delays and cost overruns, reaching about Rs 110 crore. The facility seats around 2,500 and includes seminar halls and a senate hall, though some sections remain unfinished. It aims to ease pressure on existing venues and host major university events.
