Mysore/Mysuru: Chamaraja MLA L. Nagendra performed Guddali Puja (Ground-breaking ceremony) for the new building of Sakhi Santwana Kendra, a one stop centre that provides legal and medical aid to women and child victims of atrocities, at Cheluvamba Hospital premises here on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Nagendra said that the Sakhi Kendra is currently functioning at a small chamber of Cheluvamba Hospital. But the Government, taking note of the need for a more spacious facility, allotted Rs.48 lakh under the Centre’s Nirbhaya fund, with which the new building is being constructed. Pointing out that the building is coming up at a 40’x40’ site behind the Children’s’ Hospital in Cheluvamba Hospital premises, he said that the construction work has been taken up by Nirmithi Kendra.
