The Zirakpur Municipal Council will set up a library, a senior citizen hall, a health club and a fire sub-station in Zirakpur to give better facilities to residents of the area.

According to MC sources, the long-pending demands of a library and a senior citizen hall by residents will be fulfilled shortly. The site for the library will be finalised soon where a three-storey building will be constructed. The ground floor will be given to fire sub-station, first floor to library and second floor to health club. A fire tender from Dera Bassi will be placed at the building.

MC officials stated that the authorities had seen some vacant land for the library and the site would be final after discussion with the local administration. After that, the matter would be put up at the coming MC meeting.

The authorities were also planning to construct a senior citizen hall where they would hold their social gatherings and monthly meetings. The MC team had visited Lohgarh village to identify the site. The MC has also sanctioned Rs 5 lakh for senior citizen hall, sources said.
