Problems continue for CM K Chandrasekhara Rao’s move to construct new Assembly building in place of Erramanjil historic buildings. Now, the Telangana High Court questioned the KCR government based on which law it is going to demolish the historic monuments. Some petitioners argued before the court that Erramanjil are in the list of heritage structures which should not be allowed to be demolished by the government.
The government is arguing that the structures are not historical buildings and they have been removed from the list of heritage monuments already. The demolitions are being taken up to construct new buildings for Assembly in this location. The present Assembly buildings are not spacious enough to conduct the proceedings of the House.
The petitioners told the court that the government is going to waste lot of public money on the new Assembly buildings though there is no immediate need for the same. These works will be taken up if the demolition of historic buildings are allowed now. These buildings were built during the time of Nizams and they should be protected for future generations.
