On Thursday, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will preside over the first state cabinet meeting at the new Dr. BR Ambedkar Telangana state Secretariat.
The Cabinet meeting, which begins at 3 p.m., is expected to discuss Telangana State Formation Day preparations as well as other issues.
On April 30, the chief minister formally inaugurated the newly constructed secretariat. The Secretariat complex, the brainchild of Chief Minister KCR, has risen near the banks of Hussain Sagar lake in the city’s heart, on the same plot of land where the old Telangana Secretariat and earlier undivided Andhra Pradesh stood.
The chief minister laid the foundation stone for the Secretariat on June 27, 2019, but construction did not begin until January 2021, due to the covid-19 pandemic, court cases, and other issues.
According to the release, the domes of the new Secretariat have been built in the styles of the Neelakanteswara Swamy temple of the Kakatiya period in Nizamabad, designs of the palaces of the royals of Wanaparthy ‘Samsthanam’ in Telangana and the pattern of the Hanuman temple in Sarangpur, Gujarat.
The national emblem atop the massive domes has raised the structure to its intended height of 265 feet.
As part of its security measures, the Telangana DGP Anjani Kumar requested the Telangana State Special Police (TSSP) to deploy its personnel. The TSSP will train a few hundred men shortly in patrolling, access control, anti-sabotage checks, and frisking to take over the new task. Integrated Training Academy Moinabad has already provided basic training to some at the Intelligence Security Wing.
The Hyderabad police will deploy anti-sabotage teams, sniffer dogs, and women officers from the City Security Wing. Every shift will be guarded by around 100 people in the six-story building.
A command and control center has been established at the security building in the secretariat complex, and 300 closed-circuit cameras have been installed in and around the building to provide round-the-clock monitoring. Armed guards will be stationed at sentry posts and building entry/exit points. Two fire trucks will be stationed in the new Secretariat building round the clock.
