Chhatrapati Sambhaninagar: The office of minority commissioner which was established at Haj House one month ago is running without employees.
The State Government established the commissionerate in the city which is the capital of Marathwada. However, the required officers and employees were not appointed to run it.
The Minority Department implements many welfare schemes across the State. Minority minister Abdul Sattar got approved big financial provisions for the department.
The Government decided to establish an independent minority commissionerate some months ago to take out welfare schemes to the community. Members of the minority community welcomed the decision.
The biggest question was where exactly the Commissionerate should be established. Sattar brought the Commissionerate to the city. Now, the biggest question was space. The building of Haj House, built at Rs 30 crore, remains empty throughout the year.
Haj pilgrims need this building for a month. Therefore, the Government decided to establish the Commissionerate at Haj House in the Kile-Ark area. The Commissionerate was inaugurated in a grand function organised on June 26.
Even after a month had passed, the work had not yet started. Due to this, there is speculation rife among the citizens over shifting to another place. However, the officials of this department said that nothing like this would happen.
