Civic body asked to pay ₹20 lakh a day for Chennai Trade Centre facility
The Greater Chennai Corporation is set to vacate Chennai Trade Centre, which was previously redeveloped as the largest COVID Care Centre during the second wave of the pandemic.
At present, no patients are housed in the Chennai Trade Centre. But the Corporation and the Health Department had been maintaining the beds for the last six months on the premises as part of Covid preparedness.
The Tamil Nadu Trade Promotion Organisation, which owns the facility, has demanded a daily rent of ₹20 lakh (plus GST) from the Corporation for operating the centre.
