During the daytime, departmental officers from various NDMC departments, including Civil-I, Horticulture, Public Health, Enforcement, Electrical Engineering, Transport Department, Fire, and Security departments, will be responsible for their respective duties and addressing department-specific issues. However, one Nodal Officer from each department will be stationed at the control room during night time hours to ensure swift responses to any overnight issues.

This facility is equipped with a conference hall capable of accommodating 80 persons, a dedicated control room, spacious officers' rooms, restrooms, a pantry, a storage area, and male and female toilets.
