Peeved at the lack of response from its various departments, the Punjab Government has once again written to the Finance, Principal and Administrative Secretaries to provide in detail the requirements for their respective offices.
The government will now house offices in three premises, Vikas Bhavan (developmental activities), Nirman Bhavan (construction offices) and a new mini secretariat (general administration).
A communication to the secretaries read: “There has been no satisfactory response to the earlier communication seeking details for office requirements for the next 50 years.”
The government intends to house offices concerned with developmental activities, such as rural development and panchayats, animal husbandry, fisheries, cooperation and agriculture, at Vikas Bhavan. Offices related to construction activities, including the PWD, water supply and sanitation, will find a place in Nirman Bhavan and directorates and other departments will be housed in the new mini secretariat.
The state government is looking for a central place for its offices.
A Principal Secretary said “The main office of the Education Department is located in the mini secretariat. Certain other offices are located in Sector 17 and some in Sector 34. Similarly, the police headquarters are located in Sector 9 and other offices in different parts of Sector 17.”
The government spends a tidy sum on paying rent for these offices. Certain owners, who want to raise the rent, have approached the court.
