Addressing the gathering at the opening ceremony, Banerjee said, “I thought of and created this conch shell design because the conch shell is ‘mangal’ (auspicious) for us. We have brought light from Ireland and zinc from France. Workers to make it have worked hard and I would request the Chief Secretary to felicitate all the workers and engineers in this hall one day.”
Referring to various developmental projects, he said, “I will not take anyone’s job. I will not suddenly build the Taj Mahal. I don’t have the ability to change history. History is history.”
Meanwhile, singer Ajoy Chakraborty, who performed at the newly inaugurated auditorium, said, “I have performed at various venues all over the world, but I must say this is the best internationally.”
