Later, a massive public meeting will be held at Secunderabad’s Parade Grounds. All dignitaries who attend the inauguration of the new Secretariat building will also address the public meeting, informed the state Roads and Buildings Minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy in a statement on Tuesday.
The seven-story Secretariat building, which is located near Hussain Sagar Lake, is nearing completion. The building, with a built-up area of over 7 lakh sq. ft. and all modern amenities, is costing more than Rs 600 crore to construct.
On June 27, 2019, KCR laid the groundwork for the new Secretariat complex. However, the work was put on hold due to pending cases in the High Court as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.
Following the dismissal of petitions by opposition parties and activists by the court, construction began in December 2020 and was completed in two years.
