PUL-I-ALAM - Construction work on a 1.5 acre building for the Land Authority of central Logar province has been launched, an official said on Tuesday.
At the launching ceremony, Governor Mohammad Halim Fidayee said the three-storey building would be completed in eight months at a cost of 16 million afghanis.
“We are trying to provide buildings for all government departments that are currently housed in rented structures. A department can better serve the people when its resources and staff are positioned in a proper place,” he said.
Fidayee added currently 30 percent of government departments in districts and the capital of Logar lacked buildings.
Land Authority acting head, Azim Khan, said the department had no building previously and they were faced with many problems. But he was happy with the start of process on a new building for his department.
A provincial council member, Hasibullah Stanikzai, stressed all government organs must construct buildings for their departments to address staff problems and enhance their efficiency. (Pajhwok)
