State-Of-The-Art Secretariat Complex Sought

Technical committee says old buildings cannot be modified

- 

The State government on Thursday night released the report of a technical committee which strongly recommended that a new state-of-the-art Secretariat complex complying with fire safety, National Building Code of India and Indian Green Building Council norms be constructed befitting the stature of Telangana.

The committee was of the view that it was not possible to modify or alter the existing facilities to create a befitting, iconic and integrated Secretariat complex.

The committee comprising four engineers-in-chief was constituted by a Cabinet sub-committee to study the facilities available in the present Secretariat complex and make recommendations on two options — making alterations/additions to the existing facilities or go for construction of new complex.
