SRINAGAR: Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Akshay Labroo on Thursday reviewed the proposed plan and design of the District Mini Secretariat at Batamaloo, which is envisaged as a centralised facility to bring district-level government offices under one roof.
Chairing a meeting at the DC Office Complex, Labroo reviewed the proposed infrastructure, layout, facilities and Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the administrative complex.
Officials briefed the meeting on the various components of the project, including facilities intended for government employees and members of the public visiting the complex.
Labroo stressed the need for time-bound execution and directed the concerned officers to ensure compliance with the directions issued during the meeting.
He said the Mini Secretariat would function as a one-stop centre for public service delivery, allowing people to access services provided by different government departments at a single location.
The project also envisages relocating peripheral and district-level government offices to the complex in a phased manner. The administration expects the arrangement to improve interdepartmental coordination, reduce delays and make public services more accessible.
The meeting was attended by Additional Deputy Commissioners Mir Imtiyaz Ul Aziz and Aadil Fareed, Chief Planning Officer Fayaz Ahmad Dar, Sub-Divisional Magistrate East Zubair Ahmad, Assistant Commissioner Revenue Umar Gulzar, and executive engineers from the Roads and Buildings Department, Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited and Water Works Division, among other officials.
