Hyderabad: Files in the Chief Minister’s Office are moving at a jet speed. As Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy is busy working out strategies for his next political move, his secretaries have tasked themselves with the responsibility of file clearance on a fast track mode.
Over 1,000 files, which are very important in nature, were cleared in the past two days.
