The Sindh government has allocated Rs573 million in the budget for the construction of 48 new flats within the Governor's House premises, reported 24NewsHD TV channel Thursday.
These flats will be built in four different blocks and are intended to accommodate the employees of the Military Secretary Wing and Governor Secretariat.
According to budget documents, the Governor House staff needs to be on 24-hour alert. Employees who live far away face difficulties when they are suddenly called in for duty. The current flats, which were built in the 19th century during the British era, have become dilapidated, making renovation unfeasible.
The construction project is expected to be completed by June 2025. Additionally, Rs101 million have been allocated for other expenses related to the Governor House in the Sindh budget.
This initiative aims to improve the living conditions for the staff, ensuring they can respond quickly to any urgent requirements.
