HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy directed officials to make necessary arrangements to lay the foundation for construction of a new Telangana High Court complex in Rajendranagar in January. The new complex will come up on a sprawling 100-acre land.
The decision was taken at a review meeting Revanth Reddy had with the Chief Justice of the High Court Justice Alok Aradhe at MCRHRDI here on Thursday.
