With Finance Minister Arun Jaitley taking leave for treatment, the staff at his North Block office decided it was the right time to conduct some maintenance work at his chambers. For the past one week, a lot of cleaning and repairing work has been on at Jaitley's office. On Thursday, when a strong smell of anti-termite varnish wafted out of his room, a member of the minister's staff said, “The renovation of his office was long overdue. Since he is working from home at the moment we decided to carry out the repair work.”
