Another Rs 20 crore was earmarked for residential quarters of the senior officials.
After the acquirement of nearly nine acres of land at the existing IAS Quarters near Camp Office, the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao took the decision to construct separate quarters for the officials. For Group-I officers too, residential flats will be constructed and a proposal has been prepared in this regard.
