Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will inaugurate the newly constructed Secretariat Complex in Hyderabad on February 17, the birthday of Rao, also known as KCR. The inauguration ceremony will be attended by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, his Jharkhand counterpart Hemant Soren, Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav and BR Ambedkar’s grandson Prakash Ambedkar, among many others.
Disclosing the details of the event, State Roads and Buildings Minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy said that the function will take place on February 17 between 11.30 am to 12.30 pm. Before the inauguration, Vedic scholars along with astrologers will perform Vastu Puja, Sudarshan Yagya, and Chandi Yagam.
Later, Rao will attend a public meeting at the Parade Ground in Secunderabad on the same day along with the chief guests.
The CM laid the foundation stone for the construction of the new secretariat on June 27, 2019. He named the new secretariat after Dr BR Ambedkar, the father of the Indian Constitution.
Earlier last year it was decided to inaugurate the secretariat on Dussehra. Since the construction work was not completed, it was postponed and the CM decided to inaugurate it on his birthday.
According to officials, since the construction is still underway, Rao will inaugurate the CM Block on the sixth floor. All the blocks will be opened as soon as the work is completed. The Secretariat is 277.88 feet in height and has two domes on the east and west sides of the roof top sky lounge, which were each 48 feet in height. Out of the total 3 lakh square feet parking area in the newly constructed secretariat complex, 14,659 square feet area has been allotted to park the vehicles of the chief minister and his ministerial colleagues.
The new secretariat with a built-up area of about 7 lakh square feet has been constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 600 crore.
Meanwhile, Rao on Tuesday visited the construction site of the new secretariat and directed the officials to complete the work on a war footing without paying attention to the quality.
