“Today, the three rebranded and renovated Sign-posts will offer passersby better view and description about the position of the Ministry, especially those who are not familiar with the location.
“Secondly, we are one of the largest Ministries in the State, both in workforce and otherwise. The additional restrooms will help to meet the needs of our daily rising visitors.
