- ANUP VERMA @ New Delhi

REKHA Gupta on Friday announced that the government will soon begin the process of identifying a suitable location for constructing a new secretariat to house various departments in one building.

Currently, the top brass of the government function out of Players' Building, popularly known as Delhi Secretariat, which was planned and built as a hotel to accommodate players for the 1982 Asian Games.

Gupta made the announcement after visiting the Women and Child Development Department office at Kashmere Gate. She expressed strong dissatisfaction over the dilapidated condition of the office, stating that seeing the building in such a state was deeply distressing. She stressed the need to build a new, well-organised, and integrated secretariat to house all departments.
