Hyderabad, July 27 (Hydnow): After high court advisory Telangana Government today allowed media to cover the works of demolition of Secretariat amid tight police security.
The media in closed vans had a scuffle with police for not allowing to get down at the site for coverage. While some got down from other vehicles the remaining were allowed to cover. Those in open top vehicles were allowed to take videos and photos of dismantling structures.
Despite Corona norms the media personnel were forced to occupy little space in the vehicles and made the trek to demolition site. Officials arranged a few vehicles to media people from BRKR buildings, GHMC to reach Secretariat.
