Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today laid foundation stone for the construction new camp office near existing camp office on Begumpet Road, Hyderabad, in a simple but traditional function. The New camp office has been planned as the existing office built during YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s regime proved terribly insufficient and congested to hold important meetings.

Earlier, important and high lelvel meeting used to take place in the Jubilee Hall situated in the Public Gardens. After the allotment of the Jubille Hall to the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council following the division of Andhra Pradesh, the Telangana government is left with no suitable venue to conduct meetings like collectors conference . The government had to hold the meetings either Agriculture university or JNTU or in MCRHRD. Another problem the CM’s office faced was the lack of adequate parking space at the existing camp office. The parking problem has become acute when dignitaries like chief ministers of other states or central ministers want to call on the chief minister. The old camp office can’t accommodate more vehicles than the convoy of the chief minister.

According to the CMO sources, to avoid all these problems, a new camp office is being planned with enough office and parking space along with facilities to hold bigger meetings like collectors’ conference. A Conference hall with a seating capacity of 1000 is being planned in the camp office.

Today’s program was attended by family members of chief minister, chief secretary Rajiv Sharam, CM’s principal secretary Narsing Rao, R&B principal secretary Sushil Sharma and other officials from the CMO.
