Inside Telangana's Grand New Secretariat Building: Bullet-Proof Windows, 635 Rooms, and More

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao inaugurated the state's new Secretariat in Hyderabad, a towering "Vaastu-compliant" building that was the CM's pet project. The Secretariat has bullet-proof windows in KCR's office, a royal dining room, and an elite sky lounge with glass walls that offer an aerial view of the city. The building's design was inspired by Kakatiya architecture and temples in Telangana and Gujarat. The new Secretariat has come up in place of the old Secretariat, a Nizam-era building that was torn down in July 2020.
