Vikasa Soudha gets occupants

State secretariat Vidhana Soudha’s Rs 148-crore new block, Vikasa Soudha, has come alive, with four government departments moving into the futuristic, hitech building, 17 months after it was inaugurated on February 5, 2004 by then chief minister S M Krishna. Public works, as hosts, moved in first, followed by energy, health and family welfare. Water resources moved in last week. Ministers have not yet made the move, though their chambers are fully equipped. The departments, however, have been enthusiastic: they shifted in carrying their own chairs, as the state is yet to clear purchase of over 5,000 chairs.
