Against this backdrop, while the ERP building near bus station will house the new Collectorate, some buildings in headquarters hospital will be turned into SP office. Some of the residential quarters of the SCCL will be used as the camp offices of Collector, Joint Collector and Superintendent of Police.
Stating that a detailed report consisting of building measurements is being prepared by the authorities, Venkat Rao told The Hans India: “A final decision will be taken by the administration after the government announces new districts formally. The comfort of the people is paramount to the administration.” Accompanied by RDO MV Ravindranath and SCCL officials, he inspected some of these buildings on Sunday.
