A Tamil Nadu minister has defended the proposal to build a new secretariat for Chief Minister Vijay at an estimated cost of ₹1,200 crore, saying the existing premises lack sufficient space. He said the new facility is necessary to meet administrative needs.
The minister pointed out that the current government offices in the state capital are overcrowded and do not have enough room for additional departments or staff.
He argued that allocating ₹1,200 crore for a new secretariat would provide modern workspace and improve the efficiency of state administration.
While the proposal has sparked discussion about public expenditure, the minister maintained that resolving the space crunch is essential for the functioning of the government.
