Narayana opens flyover at Kanuru

Minister for Municipal Administration, P Narayana, inaugurated the Siddhartha Flyover in Kanuru on Monday, marking a significant milestone in the region’s infrastructure development. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Penamaluru MLA Bode Prasad, former Union Minister Sujana Chowdary, former Minister Kamineni Srinivas, and Siddhartha Academy Secretary Paladugu Lakshmana Rao.
Speaking at the event, Minister Narayana criticized the previous government’s negligence, stating that the flyover had remained incomplete for over five and a half years. He expressed his satisfaction at the completion of the project and emphasized the importance of the flyover for easing traffic congestion in the area.
As per a request from MLA Bode Prasad, the minister announced that a 3.5-kilometer road connecting the flyover to the national highway would be constructed with funds from the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA). This road will further enhance connectivity and improve infrastructure in the region. Minister Narayana also addressed the state’s financial challenges, stating that the treasury is currently empty due to the mismanagement of the previous government. He pointed out that funds collected through municipal taxes, amounting to Rs. 3,200 crores, had been diverted and misused under the previous administration.
Highlighting the efforts of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Narayana said that CM is working tirelessly to stabilize the state’s finances and put Andhra Pradesh back on track. He also mentioned that the state’s share of Rs. 5,300 crores allocated by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in 2019 had not been released.
Narayana further stated that if the central funds had been properly released, many of the state’s pressing issues, such as drainage and drinking water problems in municipalities, would have been resolved.
He specifically mentioned the deteriorating condition of the drainage system in Tadigadapa municipality, assuring that efforts would be made to improve all drainage systems and guide the municipality toward development.
