Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India, on 13 March 2010, inaugurated
the new green assembly-cum-secretariat in Chennai set up at a cost of Rs 450
crore.
The complex built by PWD, Tamil Nadu, on nine lakh sq ft at Omanthoorar Government Estate on
Mount Road, was conferred the LEED-Gold certification recently.
The structure has been built in such a way that no electric lights will be
used during the day. The sensors in every room automatically switch off the
lights and ACs, when people are not around.
