Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is visiting the Amaravathi capital region on Thursday to examine the progress of the construction of various buildings in different parts of the region.
Starting at his official residence at Vundavalli at 11 am, the Chief Minister will begin his tour from Praja Vedika, which was demolished by the previous government. He will then move to the area where Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid the foundation for the capital in Uddandarayuni-palem.
Then he will visit the Seed Axis Road, the housing complexes being built for the All India Service officers, the ministers and the High Court Judges, and later move to the sites where construction works were started during the last TDP regime for the iconic buildings.
During the five years of YSRCP government, the construction activity in Amaravathi capital region has come to a grinding halt. The buildings where 70 to 80 percent construction was completed were also left which are in a bad shape without maintenance. Chandrababu Naidu, who visited Amaravathi as Leader of Opposition, was stopped by the YSRCP government. Now, he will be visiting the capital region in the capacity of Chief Minister.
Minister Narayana said that Chandrababu will begin his tour from Praja Vedika. The CM will first visit where Prime Minister Modi has laid the foundation stone for the capital.
He will inspect the quarters constructed for MLAs, MLCs, ministers, judges and officials.
Finally, the CRDA Project Office will be inspected and then he will address the media.
The minister said that first they will form committees and assess the damage done in the capital. “Since the deadline for tenders has expired, fresh tenders should be invited. New estimates should be made and tenders should be called. Tenders will take at least three to four months’ time. After discussion in the cabinet, we will take a decision on when to start the work. Action will be taken against those who stole the materials. The matter of houses in the capital is still in the Supreme Court. We will seek legal advice and move ahead,” said Narayana.
