    Fact-check: Did Telangana Secretariat fail to withstand rains in Hyderabad?

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana, the youngest state in India, recently inaugurated a new building for its Secretariat, equipped with state-of-the-art features and a unique design. The Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, inaugurated the complex by occupying a chair in his chambers on the sixth floor, signing a few files, and performing rituals with a group of priests chanting Vedic hymns. Ministers, Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari, secretaries, and other top officials occupied their respective chambers simultaneously.

    Meanwhile, a video circulating on social media claimed that the Telangana Secretariat failed to withstand summer rains. As per the claim, small rainfall in Hyderabad exposed cracks in the roof and pillars of the newly constructed Telangana Secretariat building.

    FactCheck_Telangana, a Twitter handle that fact-checks information in Telangana, revealed that the building seen in the video is a commercial complex under construction outside the new Secretariat. The tweet dismissed the claims that the Secretariat failed to withstand rains in Hyderabad.
