The Secretariat Mosque is an under-construction mosque in Hyderabad, India.[1]
History
[edit]Two mosques were located within the old secretariat complex, named Masjid-e-Hashmi and Masjid Dafatir-e-Mautamadi. These mosques were demolished by the government to construct the new Secretariat building.[2][3]
To replace these mosques, the government announced the construction of a mosque, spread across 1500 square yards at a cost of Rs. 2.9 crore. The foundation stone was laid on November 25, 2021.
The mosque is due to be inaugurated on August 25, 2023, along with a temple and a church.[4]
New Construction
[edit]The new Mosque is constructed and it is active from August 2023.
