Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Tuesday promised to give two acres of alternative land for the construction of Christian Home at Nagole crossroads in the city. This would be in place of the land previously allotted for the purpose in Mahendra Hills.
Participating in Christmas celebrations here on Tuesday, KCR said that he would personally supervise the construction of Christian Bhavan. The allotment of land would be made by the next Christmas.
