Why government employees in this Uttar Pradesh office wore helmets to work

“It’s the same condition since I joined 2 yrs ago…” ANI quoted an employee as saying. Though the employees complained to authorities about the condition of the building, they claim no measures were taken.

Look at the pictures below:

The viral pictures clearly portray the decrepit condition of the building, with holes in the roof and papers and files scattered across a room that does not even have drawers or cupboards. A pillar in the middle of the room holds everything together.

Netizens were quick to react to the post and called out the authorities for not providing safe working conditions to the employees. Take a look at some of the comments:
