Yadgir City Municipal Council (CMC) will soon have a new building for proper functioning.

The old building was demolished and the new two-floor building has been constructed at a cost of ₹4.93 crore under the Nagarothan-4 scheme for 2023-24.

There was a long-pending demand from elected representatives to construct a new building after the old building almost became dilapidated.

The new building came up after officials planned a full-fledged structure with all basic facilities. It has chambers for the municipal president and vice-president, an office for the municipal commissioner, a meeting hall and toilets.

At present, the CMC is functioning from an old building on Chittapur Road, though there is a lack of facilities there.

“The new building will shortly be opened for public service. The officers are finding it difficult to function in the old building having no sufficient space,” CMC Chairperson Lalita Anpur said.

The city has been developing rapidly. Citizens come to the CMC office for routine work, including paying taxes and other property-related issues. But the present building where the CMC is functioning from does not have facilities to serve citizens.

“Construction of the new building was completed a few months ago. We don’t know why inauguration is getting delayed. Elected representatives should throw it open for public use immediately,” a resident, Sharanabasava, who came to the CMC office for some work, said.
