Like this:
struct abc klm __attribute__ ((section (".my_sec"))) = { "this is 1st string", "this is 2nd string" };
?

$ objdump -j .my_sec -d foo.o
foo.o: file format elf32-i386

Bear in mind that the structure only contains the pointers, not the
strings themselves. String literals used as values are stored in the
.rodata section. If you want them elsewhere, you'll have to store them
in named variables, e.g.:
static char s1[] __attribute__ ((section (".my_sec"))) = "this is 1st string";
static char s2[] __attribute__ ((section (".my_sec"))) = "this is 2nd string";
struct abc klm __attribute__ ((section (".my_sec"))) = { s1, s2 };
$ objdump -j .my_sec -d foo.o
foo.o: file format elf32-i386
Disassembly of section .my_sec:
00000000 <s1>:
