The Telangana Secretariat has implemented a new rule restricting visitor access on days when Chief Minister (CM) Revanth Reddy is present at the premises. This development has caused inconvenience to individuals who frequent the Secretariat for administrative and official work as they are forced to return without resolution due to the unavailability of visitor hours during such days.
The implementation of this rule was put into effect recently, and it has garnered mixed reactions from the public. While some argue that this measure allows CM Revanth Reddy to focus on his duties without interruptions, others feel that it impedes the transparency and accessibility associated with public offices.
It is important to note that the Telangana Secretariat serves as the administrative headquarters for the Government of Telangana, and its premises are typically open to visitors during specified hours. The new rule now makes exceptions on days when CM Revanth Reddy is present, effectively closing off visitor access.
The ruling Congress party has yet to issue an official statement regarding this development; however, some political analysts suggest that this move may be aimed at streamlining administrative processes and enhancing productivity within the Secretariat. Critics argue that such measures could potentially limit public scrutiny and accountability in the governance system.
