The three days strike by APSRTC employees were suspended for three weeks on the intervention of the High Court. The buses were back on the road on Wednesday evening. The Division Bench of the High Court comprising the Acting Chief Justice Bilal Nazki and Justice G. Chandraiah heard the arguments on the two writ petitions complaining that the Government had filed to take steps to prevent the strike. The Court issued orders to both the Government and the JAC of APSRTC to settle the issues with the high-level sub committee within 21 days. The end of the strike has a big relief to the common public.

An electric fence powered by solar energy is being erected around the perimeter of the 22-acre Secretariat campus in the light of the increasing security risks especially from the extremists. The extra security layer was conceived since the number of policemen posted in the Secretariat was considered insufficient to ward off any attacks. The electric fence would provide some relief to the personnel at nights when only 25 men are present. The new security plan approved by the Cabinet and entrusted to the ECIL for execution and the fence will be ready in three months. Under this plan all those entering the Secretariat including Ministers and officials and employees will be allowed inside through an electronic Access Control System at the main gate. VIP vehicles will be fitted with electronic sensors which will be recognized at the entry point and clear the decks for their entry.
