HC says Telangana panel didn’t seek Sectt demolition

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The High Court observed that the technical committee report supporting the construction of the new Secretariat lacked clarity in explaining why it was needed. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Raghavendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Annireddy Abhishek Reddy, while dealing with PILs against the proposed demolition of the Secretariat, observed that the report was vaguely worded without mentioning specific contentions and recommendations to go for a new complex. “I am surprising that when the deficiencies can be addressed without touching the structures,, why has the technical committee suggested construction of a new complex,” Justice Chauhan observed. “Demolitions for these silly reasons would be a sheer waste of tax-payers’ money because the cost of construction of the new Secretariat is `1,000 crore,” Mr Rajnikanth Reddy said.
