HYDERABAD: Major fire broke out in the yet-to-be-inaugurated Secretariat complex of Telangana government in the wee hours of Friday, February 3.

The new Secretariat complex is set to be inaugurated by Chief Minister KCR on February 17, which takes place to be his birthday.

The massive fire, which started from the ground floor around 2.30 am spread to the first and 2nd floors. Fire tenders deployed at the spot and doused the flames after battling the fire for two hours.

Eleven fire engines were deployed to put out the fire, which is thought to have been started by a short-circuit. The ground-level scrap material is where the fire is thought to have spread from the air conditioning wiring duct.
The state fire department's director general, Nagi Reddy, personally oversaw the firefighting effort.

A description of the fire's damage was anticipated. Authorities stated that they were looking into the fire's origin.
On the same plot of land where the former Secretariats of Telangana and the former united Andhra Pradesh stood, a seven-story building with a built-up area of 7 lakh square feet and equipped with all modern amenities has been built close to Hussain Sagar lake at a cost of over Rs 650 crore.

The Telengana government has named the new Secretariat complex after Dr B R. Ambedkar. Chief Minister  KCR already stated that it reflects the pride of Telangana and would stand as a role model for other states.
