Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi would shift to his newly-built office in Gandhinagar after ‘kamurtas’ or the inauspicious period ends in mid-January.
The new Rs 150-crore chief minister’s office complex was built in less than a year. The complex will be officially called ‘Panchamrut’, meaning that elixir for six crore Gujaratis will flow from here.
The four-floor building — spread across 35,000 sq ft — has been built by the Roads & Buildings (R&B) department and designed by a leading Ahmedabad architect.
Given the security concerns, bullet-proof glasses have been used for its windows and doors. The centrally air-conditioned building has a special room for cabinet meetings and will be constantly under CCTV surveillance. “The new CM office is directly connected with the first floor of the state assembly from where the CM, ministers and MLAs can enter the assembly hall,” said a senior R&B official.
Modi took keen interest in every detail of the design. Currently, Modi’s office is located on the fifth floor of block No.1 in Sachivalaya. Over the past few years, the scope of its activity has expanded under his centralised style of administration, with a number of staffers occupying space on the second, third and fourth floors.
