STONE cladding has caused considerable delay in finishing work of three Common Central Secretariat (CCS) buildings, where ministries including home, finance and defence are to be shifted from North and South blocks. According to government sources, the pace of stone cladding had significantly dropped to 30% due to non-availability of stoneworkers. However, contractors have now been instructed to expedite the work so that ministries can be allocated space by the end of this month.
