A thorough site inspection has recently been carried out at the Belagavi Deputy Commissioner’s office premises in anticipation of a forthcoming six-story building construction project. The design envisions encompassing the building with two-lane roads on all sides and adorning its entrance with an inviting park. With official approval in hand, the tendering process is set to kick off soon. Initial assessments by the Public Works Department (PWD) suggest that the project will require funds ranging between 100 and 150 crores.
Simultaneously, the PWD has undertaken a site evaluation for the new Collectorate building. This ambitious project will involve demolishing the existing structure, along with neighboring buildings like the British sub-registry office, to make way for the new edifice. The planned Collectorate building will stretch a substantial 145 meters in length and 71 meters in width, comprising six stories, including a two-story basement and four-story office spaces.
The blueprint for this endeavor entails utilizing a portion of the extensive nine-acre Deputy Commissioner’s premises, specifically earmarking two acres. This strategic allocation ensures sufficient space for essential amenities, including parking facilities, a meticulously landscaped garden, and other indispensable infrastructure.
Recognizing the importance of safeguarding the documents housed in the sub-registrar office, steps are being taken to relocate and secure them in a protected environment. Efforts are underway to identify an alternative site, and protective measures have already been enacted. Regrettably, some documents appear to have been lost due to a roof leak.
The entrance of the forthcoming building will gracefully face north, welcoming visitors with a park and a two-lane road leading to it. Furthermore, two entrances will be established from the main road, with one serving as the primary access point and the other linking to the road leading to Chavat Galli from the rear. Part of the planned development includes the demolition of several existing structures. The land survey for this area has been diligently carried out by PWD officials, setting the stage for the subsequent building plans and cost assessments to be submitted for government consideration.
