Telangana: Mosque at same spot at Secretariat

The State government on Friday made it clear that it would build the mosque, which was razed down during the secretariat demolition process last year, at the same place in the new Secretariat.

Replying to questions raised by MIM party MLAs in the house, State Roads and Buildings Minister Vemula Prashant Reddy made it clear that the CM of the state had already responded on the issue on several occasions and added that nobody should have any doubt about the commitment of the State government.

Reminding the House, that the old mosque was spread across 433 square yards of land, he said that they would now build the new mosque in 1,500 square yards of land. He also said that they had sanctioned 1,500 square yards of land to temple and 500 squad yards of land to a church on the secretariat premises.

He also said that they would lay foundation stone for the three religious structures at the same time. He also said that they would bring the three religious places into use even before the formal inauguration of the secretariat building complex.
