No room to rest at rest house

No room to rest at rest house

Muktsar: Officers of the Irrigation Department recently asked Secretary (Irrigation) KS Pannu to sanction a new rest house in Muktsar district. They told him that there was a rest house in Muktsar and another at Gidderbaha, but "whenever we need rooms, these are occupied by the security men accompanying the Chief Minister." They claimed that even the Chief Engineer (Drainage) once failed to get a room. However, Pannu quipped, "If you are unable to get a room in the two rest houses established by the department, how can you expect that they will leave rooms vacant for you in the new one?" This was enough to leave the officers dumbstruck.
