New Delhi: Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu Thursday conducted a surprise inspection of his ministry here and found many officials absent.
Naidu reached Nirman Bhawan - which houses the ministry - at 9 a.m. and walked into the rooms of officials and found many of them empty.
"He noticed rooms of several officers and reporting staff empty as they were yet to reach office," a government official told IANS.
