Addressing the occasion, CM Tamang expressed his satisfaction with the initiative, saying, “Delighted to inaugurate the Home Department Drivers’ Waiting Room within the premises of Chintan Bhawan today. This dedicated facility has been thoughtfully developed to provide a comfortable and dignified resting space for our hardworking sarathis.”

“I commend the initiative for recognising their contributions and ensuring their well-being through such meaningful infrastructural support,” the Chief Minister added.
