The auditorium was built in 1980s, but due to lack of proper maintenance, status of everything, including the stage, chairs, sound system, lights, water proofing of roof etc was continuously deteriorating. Lastly, due to strong winds the cooling tower of hall collapsed. Now the hall is repaired and renovated and ready to open.
