Gazette notification issued for govt complexes in Amaravati

The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) has issued a gazette notification designating 1,575 acres of land in Amaravati for government complexes. This area spans Rayapudi, Nelapadu, Lingayapalem, Sakhamuru, and Kondamarajupalem villages. The notification, issued under Section 38 (3) of the APCRDA Act of 2014, is part of the Amaravati master plan, which outlines the construction of government buildings on this land.
The boundaries of the designated government complex area are as follows: the northern boundary includes parts of Rayapudi village; the eastern boundary includes Rayapudi, Lingayapalem, Kondamarajupalem, Nelapadu, and Sakhamuru villages; the southern boundary extends into Sakhamuru village; and the western boundary encompasses Nelapadu, Kondamarajupalem, and Rayapudi villages.
Following the general election results announced on June 4, the TDP-led NDA alliance formed the government, with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu reaffirming his commitment to developing Amaravati as the state capital.
Since assuming office, Naidu has personally inspected the progress of Amaravati, including government buildings and residential complexes for all-India service officers, judges, legislators, and members of Parliament.
Naidu has instructed the APCRDA to commence work, including clearing the jungle around the construction sites and roads. The APCRDA has engaged several machines for this purpose. This work is significant as no progress has been made in the past five years.
The Chief Minister has taken swift action to ensure that Amaravati remains the state capital, aiming to prevent future governments from considering relocation. Additionally, the state government is receiving public donations to support the development of Amaravati.
It is noteworthy that former Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had previously proposed a plan for three capitals: Visakhapatnam as the executive capital, Kurnool as the judicial capital, and Amaravati as the legislative capital, focusing more on Visakhapatnam.
