Telangana R&B Dept races to complete delayed IDOC projects by June
Telangana Roads and Buildings Department is accelerating delayed Integrated District Offices Complex (IDOC) projects in five districts for completion by June. The facilities aim to improve administrative efficiency, alongside ongoing construction of legislator residence-cum-offices across the state
Hyderabad: After having delayed the construction of Integrated District Offices Complex (IDOC) works at Karimnagar, Warangal, Adilabad, Narayanpet and Mulugu districts, the Roads and Buildings (R&B) department is now racing against time to complete the works by June.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government came up with the idea of constructing IDOC in all the districts. All the department offices were housed at the IDOCs. They were conceptualized to facilitate people meeting officials comfortably and make things convenient for officials to expedite work and clear files fast.
Accordingly, the construction of IDOCs in 30 districts was proposed with an outlay of Rs.1581.62 crore. The first IDOC was inaugurated at Siddipet in June 2021.
Interestingly, while construction of 25 IDOCs were completed, works in Karimnagar, Warangal, Adilabad, Narayanpet and Mulugu districts, have been delayed since the last two and half years.
The R&B department had set a target to complete the works in 2025-26 but failed to achieve. In the current financial year, the department has laid plans to complete the works at the earliest.
“The works in Karimnagar, Warangal, Mulugu, Narayanpet IDOCs are in an advanced stage of completion. The idea is to make them ready for inauguration by June,” said an official from R&B department.
Another significant initiative taken up by the previous BRS government was construction of residence cum office for Legislators in the respective constituencies with an estimated cost of Rs139 crore.
Out of the 119 units planned, construction of 100 units has been completed and works pertaining to four units were under progress, the official informed.
While legislators in other constituencies continue to function from the residence cum offices constructed exclusively, those in Hyderabad do not have such a facility.
Construction of 15 Legislators residence cum offices continues to get delayed as suitable sites are yet to be finalized.
