In the wake of security arrangements for Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu, the officials have decided to paint his new office at the Secretariat with bullets and bomb resistant polymer paint. Naidu’s office has several big buildings around it which makes him vulnerable. So, the officials have decided to take this extra precaution. The TDP head office in Road No.2 Banjara Hills and his residence do not have any big building near by.
The new office located on the Secretariat’s 8th floor in L Block and will be ready by Dussehra. The building is exposed to the main road by the Telugu Talli flyover. There are few other buildings as well of same height and Birla Mandir. Once Naidu occupies the office, round the clock security will be deployed at Birla Mandir too and they will be in constant vigil with binoculars.
Apart from the CM’s office, the 8th floor houses also has the Cabinet meeting hall, conference hall, a separate waiting hall for ministers, and another waiting hall for visitors. The 7th floor has a video conference hall, a conference hall and offices for CM’s peshi officials. The building will have a special lift which will be only used by the Chief Minister and the Chief secretary. It is known that Naidu has life threat from the Maoist. He narrowly escaped a bomb threat from Maoists in 2004 at Alipiri and from then Z-category security is in place for him.
