The Directorate of Higher Education, Haldwani, has missed the deadline of completing its building construction at Haldwani’s Golapaar area.
The building was supposed to be completed by March, 2015.
Presently, the directorate is functioning from the Mahila Degree College premises, Haldwani. Directorate officials have attributed the delay to the adverse weather conditions, however, they affirmed things would be speeded up once the weather condition was conducive for working.
Early completion of the building is vital, said the observers as normal functioning of the Mahila Degree College is being affected. Further, since the State Government merged the camp office of the State Higher Education Department in Dehradun with the Directorate of Higher Education things are all the more important, the officials admitted.
The directorate building is being constructed at a cost of `5 crore. Earlier, the Higher Education Department had also demanded an additional amount of `1.93 crore for completion of the building.
