Displaying exemplary commitment, Sharma symbolised extraordinary sincerity towards his call of duty, ignoring personal loss, (sic)” the finance ministry said on Twitter Several finance ministry staffers are locked in for the printing of budget documents in the basement of North Block which houses the ministry. They do not have access to any phones to maintain highest level of secrecy. These staffers surface only after the finance minister ends the budget speech.
