Telangana – Godavarikhani : A Singareni Community Hall located in Division 43 of the Ramagundam Municipal Corporation has remained abandoned and unusable for several years, leaving thousands of Singareni workers and their families without an affordable venue for social and family functions.
The community hall, originally built for the benefit of workers residing in Divisions 43 and 44, was once a popular venue for weddings, family gatherings, and other auspicious events. However, due to years of neglect and lack of maintenance, the building has fallen into a dilapidated condition and is no longer fit for public use.
With the hall lying abandoned, workers say they are now forced to book private function halls, where rental charges range between ₹30,000 and ₹50,000. Many families, particularly those with limited incomes, find these costs difficult to afford, adding a financial burden during important family occasions.
Residents and Singareni workers have appealed to the concerned authorities to take immediate action by renovating the community hall and restoring essential facilities. They believe that reviving the hall would provide much-needed relief to employees who have dedicated their lives to serving the Singareni Collieries Company.
Locals have also urged the management to ensure that the facility, which was established specifically for the welfare of Singareni workers, is brought back into service at the earliest. They emphasized that a restored community hall would once again become a valuable community asset, enabling workers to conduct family functions with dignity and at an affordable cost.
The workers hope the authorities will respond positively to their long-pending demand and prioritize the renovation of the neglected facility in the interest of employee welfare.
