Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday morning moved into his new home after a traditional house-warming ritual.

According to reports, different rituals like Daiva Pravesam were performed as part of the Griha Pravesam ceremony and Prayers of different religions were performed on the occasion.

Media reports said the sprawling new residence, with state-of-the -art facilities, has come up over one lakh square feet space.

The reports said that due to security reasons, “bullet- proof” bathrooms have been constructed in the house. The new CM residence-camp office is built over an area of 8.9 acres and has an official construction cost of Rs 33 crore.

A government statement had earlier said the new residence had been planned as the Chief Minister’s camp office and residence did not have adequate facilities for parking and holding large meetings.
