House hunting for the new CM

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, MAY 13. Officials are searching for a suitable residential accommodation for the new Chief Minister, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, though he may for the time being stay at the Lakeview guesthouse on Raj Bhavan Road.

A number of independent residential quarters were identified for the purpose located at Begumpet, Kundan Bagh and Ministers' Quarters in Banjara Hills. The list, which included Greenlands and Ananda Nilayam too, was forwarded to the family members. But the choice for the temporary stay, which may be extended indefinitely, fell on Lakeview. Portions of this guesthouse are being remodelled for immediate shifting of his residence from his daughter's house in Banjara Hills.

At the same time, the present office of Chief Minister in `C' block in the Secretariat from where N. Chandrababu Naidu worked, is being tentatively prepared for occupation by D. Reddy after the swearing-in if he desires so. A senior GAD official said, the first Cabinet meeting of the new Government will take place at the Secretariat at 4.30 p.m. if a few senior elected members were also sworn in.

Resignations

Meanwhile, resignations by chairmen of corporations/ public sector undertakings poured in at the office of the Chief Secretary, Mohan Kanda, in view of the change in the Government. The officers who served in the office of Mr. Naidu went on leave.
