President Pranab Mukherjee today inaugurated a two-storey rest house at the Raj Bhawan here which was constructed after the old one got damaged in an incident of fire some time ago.

Ajay Tirkey, Principal Secretary to Governor Ram Naresh Yadav (89), was present with other dignitaries and senior officers when the President cut the ribbon.

The Governor couldn’t make it to the function as he has been hospitalised for the past two days, according to the Raj Bhawan (Governor’s residence) Public Relation Office.

The rest house has five suites, two rooms, and a modern gym for the VVIPs, a Raj Bhawan official said.

He said the rest house was built with an amount of Rs 34.9 lakh in 18 months.

The old rest house on the Raj Bhawan premises too has been repaired, an official said.
