Repair works of former Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's house began here today, following a state government order. Acting on a complaint, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had instructed officials on February 28 to expedite the repair works of former CM's residence in South Kolkata and clean up the area promptly. The Bhattacharjee household had complained of disrepair of the housing estate where the former chief minister lives in a rented flat. "Repair works will be completed soon and the complex will be cleaned up," an official handling the job said. Banerjee also asked the officials to expedite handing over ownership rights of the flats among all residents in the government housing estate, where Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee resides with his wife Mira. Banerjee had said the repair work and handing out ownership rights should have happened much earlier at the premises where the former CM has been residing for years. "Repair works should be done immediately.
He (Buddhadeb) is sick and he needs comfort," Banerjee had said. Bhattacharjee, who is unwell of late, resided in the same flat even before he became the chief minister.
