AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi inspected the construction work of the mosque at the State Secretariat. The State government recently announced that a temple, mosque, and a church will be inaugurated in State Secretariat premises on August 25. The MLA held a meeting with Principal Secretary, Revenue, Navin Mittal in the Secretariat on allotment of government lands to Muslim graveyards, Eidgahs, and Shaadikhanas in all districts of Telangana.
In July, the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao announced to inaugurate three places of worship (Mosque, Temple, and a Church) in the Secretariat premises. It was announced that these three places will be accessible for Secretariat employees to perform rituals during their festivities.
Foundation stone for the reconstruction of two Mosques in the new State Secretariat premises was laid on November 25, 2021, in the presence of Home Minister Mahmood Ali. The State government had allotted 1,500 yards for the two Mosques, which are estimated to cost Rs 2.9 crore. Two Mosques and a temple were razed during the demolition of old secretariat buildings.
KCR expressed his regret over the incident and claimed that the places of worship were damaged due to the fall of debris on them. He promised to rebuild the place of worship on more spacious sites and at the government’s cost.
On September 5, 2021, KCR announced that the government will rebuild Mosques and a Temple along with a Church.
