New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Ambika Soni Thursday visited the Siri Fort auditorium to review the renovated facilities of the complex and termed those as “world class”.
The renovation has provided an appropriate platform to stage a wide range of cultural events, including film screenings and contemporary musical concerts.
