Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday inaugurated a new CMO inside the secretariat complex.
Sarma’s new office, the Lok Sewa Bhawan, is situated in the newly constructed 'I-Block' inside the Janata Bhawan complex at Dispur.
The new block will accommodate the offices of the chief minister and the chief secretary.
"Another block is being constructed and it will be ready within the next six months. In 5-10 years, the entire secretariat complex will feature a new look. This will be done keeping in mind the e-office requirements," Sarma said.
