In the wake of the recent encounters in Telangana and Naxal Threat, Telangana Government has decided to beef up the security of the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao. The government is in the process of procuring a new bulletproof bus which will have state of the art facilities and new security features.
The Bus is estimated to cost about 7 crores and the vehicle is to be used by the CM for touring the state. Interestingly, the Chief Minister already has a bulletproof Mercedes Benz bus that was procured at a cost of 4 crores three years ago.
While a chopper will be the primary mode of transport for the elections campaign, the Chief Minister will use the bullet-proof bus for an extended stay in the districts. The government will call for tenders very soon and it will take a minimum two to three months to get the bus ready after finalizing the tenders.
