In the wake of the West Bengal Assembly elections, preparations are in full swing for the new government. The assembly is removing nameplates of outgoing ministers and installing new signage for the newly elected representatives. The historic Writers' Buildings, which has served as the administrative headquarters since 1780, is undergoing extensive renovations. The state government has allocated ₹200 crore for its restoration, with only certain areas deemed fit for immediate use. The BJP has emphasized its intention to operate from this iconic site, marking a significant shift from the previous government’s decision to move the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) to Nabanna in Howrah. Security arrangements are being inspected by Kolkata Police Commissioner Ajay Nand as the assembly prepares for the inaugural cabinet meeting, expected to follow the swearing-in ceremony. The transition reflects a broader change in governance and administrative practices in West Bengal.
