Proposed construction of flats for the Ministers in West Bengal.


From the electronic media I came to know this afternoon an important news that some flats will be  constructed for the ministers by the PWD department. If the news is  genuine the same deserves appreciation. The same should have have been much earlier .However , better late than never . Many ministers reside at distant places for which it takes much time for them  to come to Kolkata.  The most important thing is that since independence no official accommodation for the chief Minister has been constructed.

Previously it was seen that in the absence of Govt accommodation one Chief minister resided for a pretty long time at a quarter  of Raj Bhawan and subsequently shifted to Bidhan nagar while Tripura is a small state and thirty years ago I saw the Govt Bungalow for the Chief Minister at Agartala.

Besides if all the ministers reside  at the same place it is very good for coordination . The Chief Minister may require one or more Minister at any time and if they reside in Govt. accommodation the C.M. may get them whenever they are needed .

In case they are from distance places this advantage cannot be availed of.
