The facilities are expected to serve the needs of people in the region by providing large and well-equipped venues for community, cultural and social activities.
Grand inauguration planned on May 23
The inaugural programme for the convention halls is scheduled to be held in a grand manner on May 23, with organisers planning multiple events as part of the celebrations.
Palemar said the inaugural programme will commence at 10 am at the Palemar Convention Centre situated at Maryhill in the city.
The event is expected to draw participation from political representatives, community leaders and dignitaries from different sectors.
According to organisers, the simultaneous inauguration of four convention centres is expected to hold both cultural and historical significance for the region.
