ITANAGAR, Jul 12: A team of Directorate Service Officer’s Association of Arunachal (DSOAA) inspected the under construction Common Directorate Complex at Chimpu near here today.
During the inspection, the team DSOAA pointed out that the Common Directorate Complex housing all the Directorates under one roof would be the first common Directorate in the Northeast and outcome of the demand of DSOAA made to the State Govt in 2016. ‘It was the long felt need of the directorate officers to accommodate all the directorates under one roof which would benefit both the public and the staff alike, similar to the civil secretariat,’ they pointed out.
Among others, team DSOAA appealed to the State Govt to increase the planned G+6 building to G+8 to house new departments that might be created in future. They also urged the executing agency to not compromise with the quality of work, to try and finish the project timely, to take special care in construction of the dome to prevent water seepages like that of the Assembly and Civil Secretariat buildings, and installation of transparent lifts and high mast towers.
Meanwhile, PWD Capital Division-B Assistant Engineer Nangram Mire informed that the 98 cr project kick started in 2022 is scheduled to be completed by 2025. ‘The Common Directorate Complex will house 22 Directorates including that of the Directorates of Agriculture, Art and Culture, Audit and Pension, Education, Economics and Statistics, Fisheries, Food and Civil Supplies, Industry, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Labour and Employment, Trade and Commerce, Research, Science and Technology, State Remote Sensing Application Centre, Textiles and Handicrafts, Transport, Women and Child Development, Youth Affairs, Lokayukta, Women’s Commission and State Human Rights Commission’, informed the site engineer.
The team DSOAA was led by general secretary Wangton Lowang, vice president Gomar Angu, convener Toko Togur, spokesman-cum-publicity secretary Gyati Kacho and a few other DSOAA members from various line departments during the inspection.
