Telangana State, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has assured the IAS officers association that the government will sanction Rs.5 crore for building the necessary infrastructure facilities for the proposed new premises in about 3.5 acres.
Mr. Rao after explaining the significance of removing the swimming pool for ‘vastu’ reasons also promised the officers that the Telangana government was ready to even register the proposed new club premises in the name of the IAS officers association.
Incidentally, the current premises occupied by the Association have been given by the then State government on a long lease and has been in its possession since 1982, according to a senior official. But, the TS government eyeing the premises has not gone down well with many officers distraught and bristling with anger.
