Hyderabad: Former chief minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K Chandrashekar Rao has been provided with Y-category security along with an escort vehicle and 4+4 Personal Security Officers (PSOs) here on Saturday, December 15.
He was discharged the previous day from Yashoda Hospital at Somajiguda after undergoing hip replacement surgery.
During his tenure as Telangana’s chief minister, KCR was given Z-plus security. The latest change in security was under his rank as the Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly.
KCR’s Banjara Hills residence will also have a sentry post.
The Congress government has decided to withdraw security for former ministers and MLAs who were defeated in the recently concluded Assembly elections. Those who won but do not serve the cabinet have been provided with 2+2 PSOs sans an escort vehicle.
