After 10 years, the Shri Shirdi Saibaba Sansthan of NZ Inc is finally on track in its mission to begin work on its new temple in Church Str Onehunga.
“We are finally getting there,” Sanstahan president Hari Gangisetty said.
“Today is a historic day for the Sansthan,” said Gangisetty, referring to the August 20 start date of the construction work.
The building contract was signed on August 19, and the construction started the following day.
The targeted completed date is 40 weeks from now, which is June 2013.
Originally the fixed price contract of $2,765,000 was approved in the annual meeting on July 14.
The executive committee and temple committee negotiated it down to $2,700,000, thereby saving $65,000.
The executive committee, on the recommendation of the Temple Committee, authorised the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer to sign the contract with the builder, Shakti Construction Ltd.
“What has been achieved today is only because of each one of you. Over the last 10 years since the Sansthan's inception every one of us has had only one common goal, that of having Baba's Mandir. The dream is soon to be a reality,” Gangisetty said.
“We will be updating construction progress on a regular basis.
“This is an exciting phase for the Sansthan. We value your continued support and appreciate your input in making this happen.
“May Baba bless all of us with positive attitude which brings strength, energy and initiative. Let the countdown begin.”
