New sub-treasury office building yet to be used

The spacious building had been sanctioned on the campus of the taluk office in Manapparai

A new building constructed for the Sub-Treasury office at Manapparai, which was inaugurated about three months ago, is yet to be put to use.

It was a long felt need of visitors particularly pensioners for a more spacious building and the Department of Treasuries and Accounts had sanctioned a new building on the campus of the Taluk office in Manapparai. It has a separate chambers for the Sub-Treasury officer, record room and administrative unit and a waiting hall for customers.

“Hitherto, it was functioning in a cramped building but the new one, with a plinth area of about 1,700 square feet, is quite spacious for both the employees and the visitors,” an official said.

Electrical work

Although the building was declared open about a couple of months, it has taken some more time for setting up electrical circuits. “With all the details of pensioners and other data on salaries having been computerised, it needs more time for setting up the electrical and electronic circuit,” say sources.

It would be put to use by the end of this month or early next month, say the sources.
