The announcement for a regional office in Nagpur was made by minister for environment and forest Jairam Ramesh in January last year. Even 15 months later, things have not moved much and only hunt for space for the office is on.
Initially, NTCA was trying for space in New Secretariat building opposite Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) in Civil Lines where several central government offices are located. The plan was shelved as NTCA, being an independent authority, could not get accommodation there.
Recently, local forest officials, who are helping NTCA, finalised a private bungalow in Ramdaspeth. Now, the plan to occupy that seems to have been dropped to save money. Fresh efforts are being made too look for government space. Read the full report here.
