In a swift move, the Telangana government today released Rs 400 crore for the construction of a new Secretariat.
According to reports, the demolition of the old buildings is over and the removal of debris, too, is nearing completion, and the government has released the funds to expedite the construction of the new Secretariat.
Administrative sanction will soon be given for the funds to be used for the purpose, and a notification for tenders will be called for by the officials in this regard, sources said.
