HYDERABAD:  Telangana's new Secretariat complex is scheduled to open on January 18, 2023. The State's Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) has fixed the date for the inauguration of the new building after consultation with his advisors, cabinet officials and some key leaders of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).

KCR  will inaugurate the complex which is named after Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The same day he will begin working from his office on the sixth floor.

The work on the building near Hussain Sagar lake in the heart of the city is in its final stage and is expected to be completed in all respects by Sankranti , that is on January 14.

The seven-story project has a built-up area of 7 lakh square feet and is furnished with all contemporary amenities. Its construction cost is close to Rs 650 crore.

Earlier this week, roads and buildings minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy had made a surprise inspection of the progress of ongoing works and sought the representatives of the construction agency and workers to complete the works in line with the deadline finalised by the chief minister.

The minister urged the agency to engage workers in multiple shifts and hire more workers, if needed, to complete the work ahead of schedule.

Two massive domes were recently installed, and workers are currently working on them. The national emblem atop one of the domes will take the building to its planned height of 278 feet.
