\nHe said that besides eliminating the burden of exorbitant rent, the new quarters will help the state government to save cost on security as it will provide adequate arrangement for the security of these high calibre of personnel at one location.
\n“It looks so embarrassing that the government will be spending a lot of money renting places for these senior officials.
