The residents living nearby the Government Polytechnic College at Gairsain where the special Assembly session is now being held, say in unison that the transformation of the institute into a glittering edifice in incredibly short span of time would augur well for them developmentally if the venue of such sessions rotates from building to building, place to place.
Things are really astounding as the place where the institute’s workshops are held is now housing the session. The class rooms were converted into office rooms of several, including Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Chief Minister, Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary to CM, and Vidhan Sabha Secretaries among others. This aside, several rooms are now being used as police control rooms and reporters’ rooms.
“The place got transformed in the least of time. The Government machinery was set into motion to expedite things. It shows how fast things can be changed if the will is there,” said one who was found staring wide-eyed at the new-made institute.
There are reasons for the people getting astounded. The shining tile-bedecked floors and granite-crested stairs aside from the steely smooth roads seem to have taken their breath away in pleasurable wonder.
The highly placed officials from different departments were found inspecting things eagle-eyed. They fear they might be posted here permanently in case anything goes wrong. For instance, Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam (GMVN) MD C Ravishankar, who is engaged in catering to the myriad needs of those who are now staying here, was found himself taking stock of things in the kitchen. Things are going on pretty well, said a VIP who was found pleased with the quality of food being served.
MlAs, who are hardly satisfied, are now all praise for GMVN for the care the latter is taking to humour them the right way through their stomach.
