Dimapur, Nov. 25 (EMN): Chief Minister TR Zeliang on Saturday inaugurated what was stated to be the ‘state guest house’ located at RK Puram in New Delhi.
A press statement from the chief minister’s office on Saturday quoted the chief minister as having claimed: This marks the fulfilment of a long-awaited dream of having a new state guest house (in the national capital).
“The new state guest house in the national capital which has an approximate total plinth area of 4039 square meters with 43 rooms enjoys the luxury of well-designed suites, guest rooms, conference room, dining hall, dormitory for boys and girls etc., which will act not only as a safe haven for visitors from the state but would go a long way in serving the manifold purposes for the people of Nagaland,” the statement read. According to the chief minister: “It represents the state as would an embassy to a foreign mission and is truly a multipurpose premise representing a mini Nagaland.” He proclaimed that the newly opened guest house would “act as a nerve centre for social and cultural activities of the people of Nagaland.”
As such, he asked the staff of the guest house to ‘be conscious of their responsibilities’ and ensure sound and proper management of the newly constructed building. “I am sure the stress and strain the Nagaland House officials and staff had to undergo, during the past one decade in providing proper accommodation to visitors from Nagaland will be a thing of the past”.
