The government is also targeting to complete some more blocks and hand them over to the public before 2024, he added.

Earlier, there were only single housing quarters, he said, adding that with loans from HUDCO, new building facilities which are G+6 buildings are being constructed at the site.

The Chief Minister also said that once the complex is complete it will solve at least 70-80 percent of issues faced by government officials due to lack of housing quarters.
