Accordingly Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao Thursday has set the ball rolling for construction of grand Secretariat and Legislative Assembly buildings with groundbreaking ceremonies. Meanwhile the new Rs 400 crore Secretariat buildings would come up in the existing complex housing several blocks, abutting the picturesque Hussain Sagar lake.
Furthermore kcr rarely visited the Secretariat since he became the Chief Minister of Telangana in 2014 and functioned from his official residence cum camp office due to 'Vaastu' reasons. Earlier the Chief Minister had earlier said the present Secretariat complex is congested which made it difficult for fire tenders to move in the event of a fire accident. Further noting that the legislative council building is situated at a distance from the Assembly building in the existing complex, kcr recently said the path between them is in a zig-zag manner which made it difficult for the Chief Minister, ministers and others to move.
Moreover officials said that the R&B department will take up the responsibility of the addressing every task during the construction of the buildings. As per government estimates, the total cost of construction of the 100 per cent Vastu-compliant Secretariat and Assembly is Rs 400 crore to Rs 500 crore.
