Patna: Employees of a Bihar government office in East Champaran district have to wear helmets while working due to the dilapidated condition of the building.
Not just employees, even people visiting the bloc office in Areraj prefer to cover their heads before entering into its premises.
Lalan and Parvej Ahmad who work in the land records department of the office told News18 that many members of the office staff have been injured when parts of the roof fell on them.
“This is quite an old building. Walls and the roof of the building are in a very bad shape. Water starts trickling the moment it rains. The roof can cave in any day. Since we can’t be absent from our duties, we all decided to wear helmets,” they said.
Bihar government’s building construction department declared the office dangerous last year, but despite that people continue to work there.
