An international convention centre in Mohali on govt's agenda

New Delhi/ Chandigarh: If every thing goes well as per the plan conceptualised by the Punjab government, Mohali might turn into a trade expo hub in the near future. The state government is mulling the idea of setting up a state-of-the-art international convention centre spread over 60 acres of land, near the Mohali International Airport, on the lines of Greater Noida.
There is no international convention centre to the north of Delhi and the Mohali project is considered to be one of the most ambitious projects of the Punjab government, especially in view of the upcoming international Airport in Mohali.
A first of its kind in North India, the convention centre will have a capacity of over 5,000 seats and the hotel is expected to have an accomodation of at least 300 rooms. The proposed project will have International convention and exhibition centre with a seating capacity of 4,000 along with commercial area, service apartments. Besides that, covered and uncovered spaces for exposition, conference hall, hotel, resorts, exporter offices, parking spaces.
