KCR Laid Foundation Stone to New Secretariat!

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao laid the foundation stone for the secretariat on Thursday at 10.45 AM.

The secretariat is to be built at Erram Manzil at a cost of Rs 400 crore and the assembly’s estimated cost is of Rs 100 crore. KCR has set a 9-month deadline for Secretariat. So, it would be completed by April 2020.

Owners of Erram Manzil have opposed the construction of the Assembly on the premises of the heritage structure.

Also, the area fell under the Begumpet Airport fly zone and the Ministry of Civil Aviation had objected to the construction of multi-storeyed buildings.

Finally, KCR decided to build the new secretariat on the existing premises on 4.5 lakh sq ft area by razing down all 10 structures, including heritage G Block, which got its tag removed through a special Act.
