The renovation process took nearly 2.5 years, however, the new chairman was congratulated for his 3 months long commendable job
The inauguration function was like a ‘felicitation Ceremony’
Where almost every one is felicitated at the hand of CM Parrikar and others.

He was praised including by Parrikar for getting the remaining work completed within 3 months
Then, almost the entire PWD ‘Khaten’ Dept was felicitated starting with Principal Chief Engineer JJS Rego, Chief Architect Radha

and many other PWD officers (Some did not come up on the stage) including jurnior officers of the PWD Dept.
