While Revanth Reddy was taking oath as the new chief minister of Telangana in Hyderabad on Thursday, workers in another part of the city were busy dismantling the iron barricades that guard the CM’s residence.
In a bid to make the CM’s office, which doubles as his residence, more accessible for people, Reddy, while addressing a gathering at the swearing-in ceremony said the barricades and the iron fence around Pragati Bhavan were being dismantled.
In a video posted on X by ANI, workers were seen removing the iron barricades, with the police aiding them in the process.
