Following HC orders CM is all set to call Cabinet meeting in 2 days

● ON JUNE 27, 2019, Rao laid the foundation for the construction of the new Secretariat and also construction of the new legislature complex at Errum Manzil.

Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekar Rao, will likely convene a meeting in the next couple of days to discuss the steps being taken to expedite the construction of the new Secretariat complex.

The Telangana High Court on Monday dismissed the public interest litigations (PILs) against the cabinet decision to demolish the existing buildings in the old Secretariat complex and construct a new complex.

Against this background, sources in the state government disclosed that Rao has instructed senior officers concerned to prepare necessary plans to take up the demolition of the existing buildings and commence the construction of new structures.

On June 27, 2019, Rao laid the foundation for the construction of the new Secretariat and also construction of the new legislature complex at Errum Manzil. Both projects were stalled due to the stay orders of the High Court in the PILs moved against both projects.

As the High Court paved the way for the construction of the Secretariat, sources pointed out that Rao is keen on taking up the construction of the new secretariat and he will likely fix the date for the demolition in a meeting to be held in three to four days.

Meanwhile, roads and buildings authorities have expedited the process of demolition of buildings in the old Secretariat complex by clearing unused furniture and other materials, including several condemned vehicles.

Chief secretary, Somesh Kumar, instructed the roads and building authorities to shift over 100 four-wheelers and some two-wheelers and three-wheelers parked in the Secretariat complex to the Nizam college grounds.
