As many as 18 ministers have started their chambers in the two, three, fourth and fifth blocks of the interim secretariat in Velagapudi. Only Finance Minister, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu started working from there and he is busy conducting review meetings with various departments for the last few days.
The minister and government officials attending the meetings brought alacrity at the interim Secretariat much to the delight of the locals. However, they are eagerly waiting for Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to arrive there and work out of the secretariat. Naidu was to shift his office from the last week of August but it got postponed in the last minute.
“Everything will fall place once he (Naidu) is here. All the ministers and officials will be forced to work from here once the CM is working from here,” opines the locals. Sources say that CMO will be shifted very soon and Intelligence department is already reviewing the security arrangements of the Chief Minister.
