0

The Andhra Pradesh capital, Amaravati would be developed as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) city in the years to come, said chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday. Naidu held a review of AP Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) with the officials on the day.

Naidu directed the APCRDA officials to complete the construction of their office in Amaravati in the next 90 days. He wanted them to start the work and ensure that the office is inaugurated in the next 90 days. He told the officials to maintain quality in the construction of the APCRDA office in Amaravati. The building should be iconic too, he told the officials.

Naidu also directed the officials to speed up the process of jungle clearance in Amaravati. The officials have already engaged machines to clear the bushes in Amaravati. The bushes on the roads and at several places, including the construction sites, are being removed now. The bushes came up in the last five years as the works in Amaravati were not taken up by the previous YSR Congress government.

The officials told the chief minister that they have engaged 190 machines to clear the jungle in Amaravati. Over 60 per cent of the work is completed, they informed the chief minister. They further said that the jungle clearance work is nearing completion.

The chief minister also reviewed the Happy Nest project in Amaravati. The officials have presented the list of buyers of plots in the Happy Nest when the project was launched in 2018-19. Several NRIs have invested in the Happy Nest. Over 75 per cent of the plots were purchased by the NRIs in the project, which is nearing completion. However, this project too was stopped by the previous YSR Congress government.

The chief minister reviewed the metro project works in Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada. He told the officials to start the work and prepare it to be given to the contractors. He also reviewed the metro project lines and distance in both the cities. He told the officials to see that the work is started at the earliest.

AP’s Urban Revolution: Nine New Cities to Surround Amaravati

0

In a bold move to boost urban development, Andhra Pradesh is set to establish nine new cities around the Amaravati capital region, including dedicated health and sports hubs. Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister Ponguru Narayana made this announcement on Friday, signaling a renewed focus on the state’s urban landscape.

Cleaning operations in Amaravati are slated to commence early next week, either Monday or Wednesday. In a significant development, Minister Narayana also confirmed the revival of the previously halted Amaravati Happy Nest project. This housing initiative, launched by the former TDP government, had garnered overwhelming interest, particularly from non-resident Telugu investors, before being suspended by the YSRCP administration.

Infrastructure development is also high on the agenda. Plans are underway to enhance road networks around Amaravati, including improvements to the Chennai-Kolkata highway and the Seed Access Road. New connecting routes (E5, E11, E13, and E15) will link the capital to the Vijayawada-Chennai National Highway. Minister Narayana assured that the tender process for these projects would begin promptly, with the expansion of Karakatta Road to four lanes also in the pipeline.

Besides this, Chandrababu Naidu has also asserted that the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) will extend 8,352 sq km as per the GO No. 207 issued in 2015.

The announcement comes against the backdrop of Andhra Pradesh’s challenging journey post-bifurcation, which reportedly resulted in a loss of ₹1.3 lakh crore. Critics argue that the previous YSRCP government’s policies, including delays in capital region development and the suspension of the Polavaram project, have led to further, unquantifiable losses.

With the TDP back in office, the government appears poised to initiate a comprehensive damage control process, aiming to put the state back on track for rapid development and growth.
