The AP Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) has
extended the last date for submission of objections and suggestions on
perspective plan for the capital region till February 29. CRDA
Commissioner N. Srikanth on Friday said that following requests from
various quarters, the authority had decided to extend the last date. The
authority would conduct awareness meetings at 10 important places of 56
mandals in the region. The schedule would be released shortly, he said.
In
Guntur, taken aback by the unrest in villages in the capital region
over the draft master plan, Agriculture Minister P. Pulla Rao and
Tadikonda MLA Tenali Sravan Kumar said that pending cases relating to
objections over extended village boundaries would be sorted out soon.
Addressing a meeting, they assured the farmers that neither their
properties nor their houses would be affected by the road widening
works. “If necessary, we will exempt some villages, but we will make
sure none of the farmers is put to any inconvenience,” Mr. Pulla Rao
said.
Farmers from Nekkallu told the Minister that
they were ready to give away their houses, provided the CRDA provided
them developed plots in the places of their choice. Mr. Sravan Kumar
said that village committees would be formed soon to address the issues,
and added that a meeting would be conducted with Chief Minister N.
Chandrababu Naidu on these issues. The Minister also assured the farmers
that a Minister or a senior official of the CRDA would be present at
the CRDA office in Thullur to hear grievances of the farmers.

Vijayawada, Municipal Administration Minister P. Narayana said that the
government extended the last date for BPS twice so far. It has no plans
to extend the date further. The last date for filing applications under
the BPS comes to a close on January 31.
