We were paying Rs.10,500 p.m on the rent for the previous office building. We had five rooms and now we have just one room to work and one room which can be used as a store”, said department official.

A senior official from the Provincial branch said that more than a dozen applications are still pending but the administration has no space to setup new offices. “When the building of District Administrative Complex was constructed, all the departments were asked to provide accurate details and their requirements. However, most of the department did not provide the correct detail due to which such situation has arise.

When contacted Ramvir, Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur said that most of the buildings have been vacated and very soon the rest of the buildings will also be vacated.
