Around 1,600 square feet of space in the Dak Bhawan Annexe building was a dumpyard with unwanted items but the Department of Posts decided to transform it.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for cleanliness has transformed government offices here as areas filled with junk, discarded furniture and construction materials have now been developed into courtyard and staff lounges, among others. For example, around 1,600 square feet of space above the 'Sancharika canteen' in the Dak Bhawan Annexe building was a dumpyard with unwanted items but the Department of Posts decided to transform it.
"Accordingly, after removing all discarded items, a 'vishrantika' (staff lounge) was made operational," said Aman Sharma, Secretary, the Postal Services Board.
He said 'vishrantika' has amenities for indoor games like table tennis, chess, carrom, etc., besides space for reading newspapers/magazines. "It can also be used for official get-together," Sharma told reporters.
