Ahmedabad Mayor Hitesh Barot inaugurated the renovated Naroda-Muthia Community Hall in the Naroda ward, a civic facility developed at an estimated cost of ₹6.23 crore with indoor and outdoor capacity for more than 1,200 people, according to a report by Divya Bhaskar – Ahmedabad.
The community hall, located near the Ganesh temple in Naroda village, has been upgraded with facilities intended to support social, cultural and public programmes. The project includes two indoor floors and an open party plot, allowing the facility to host events of different sizes.
The ground floor covers 435 square metres and has seating capacity for approximately 260 to 300 people. The first floor has a similar 435-square-metre area and includes air-conditioning, with capacity for another 260 to 300 people. The open party plot covers 1,476 square metres and can accommodate approximately 600 to 650 people, the report said.
The design gives the facility a combined indoor and outdoor capacity exceeding 1,200 people. That capacity places the project among the larger neighbourhood-level public gathering facilities described in the supplied report, although the report does not provide details of the hall’s booking system, user charges, operating agency or maintenance arrangements.
The project also includes a 309.14-square-metre kitchen building, along with a 266.30-square-metre stage and dressing-room area. A security cabin and toilet block have been constructed across 26.64 square metres. Other works listed in the report include an RCC road, paver blocks, a compound wall and fire-fighting installations.
Parking provision has been planned for 110 two-wheelers and 80 four-wheelers. These facilities are intended to support functions held in the indoor halls and the open party plot, though the supplied material does not specify whether parking will be managed by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation or by an appointed operator.
The inauguration comes as municipal community facilities increasingly serve as shared venues for neighbourhood events, public meetings and social functions. Their usefulness depends not only on construction quality and seating capacity but also on regular maintenance, transparent access rules, safety systems and affordability for local residents. The report does not provide information on these operational arrangements for the Naroda facility.
The supplied report also contains separate updates about a proposed ₹7,000 Diwali bonus for approximately 16,800 AMC Class IV employees and an alleged cable theft incident at the Dudheshwar pumping station. Those items concern different events and have not been included as part of the Naroda community hall report. Editorial clarification is required because the source material combines all three developments under one intake item.
Further details on the community hall’s operating schedule, booking process, public access and maintenance responsibility were not available in the supplied material.
