Climb the stairs to the first floor of the Vigyan Bhavan Annexe on Delhi’s Maulana Azad Road, and on the left is the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region. It’s a typical sarkari office with a long corridor, a large section room, cabins of various shapes and sizes for officers and the minister, and tiny rooms for personal assistants. And you won’t miss the sight of peons carrying nadawali files tied with the infamous red tape, from one room to another.
