Nearly two months after two mosques and a temple were destroyed at the old state Secretariat in Hyderabad, Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday declared that the government will reconstruct them along with a church in the new secretariat complex. He made the disclosure when a deputation of Muslim leaders led by Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi lashed on him on their demand for reconstructing the demolished places of worship.

KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known, said the government will bear the cost of construction of all four places of worship. The Chief Minister said each mosque will be constructed over an area of 750 square yards, thus the two mosques will be built over 1,500 square yards. He also announced that the temple will be built on 1,500 square yards and after reconstruction, the same will be handed over to the endowments department. KCR said since Christians also demanded the construction of a church in the Secretariat, the government has decided to build the same.
