Secretariat Access Restricted: Visitors Barred Due to CM's Schedule
Visitors to the Secretariat in Hyderabad are not allowed to enter the building, and have not been able to meet with officials.
This is happening because the Chief Minister is very busy.
This restriction means people from other districts can't get their issues addressed.
Special security measures were put in place during a Cabinet meeting, with even usual visiting times being cancelled.
Some people came to get their files cleared.
On average, 500 people visit each day.
Visitors are being barred from entering the Secretariat, especially when the Chief Minister is present.
Visiting hours have been canceled, citing security reasons related to the Chief Minister's schedule.
The restriction caused distress for visitors coming from districts, unable to meet officials.
The Special Protection Force (SPF) restricted visitor movements before and during a Cabinet meeting.
Officials stated the Chief Minister's office ordered the restrictions due to the CM's busy schedule.
