Andhra Pradesh government looking to the task of developing a capital city
Andhra Pradesh government is staring at an uphill task of developing a capital city for the state with an expert committee suggesting that the main government and other institutions be distributed across three different regions instead of the capital being established at any particular place.
Development of a capital city has become an emotional issue of sorts in Seemandhra as the region was first separated from the composite Madras state (after Independence) and, now, post the formation of the separate Telangana state, AP has been rendered without a capital of its own. The ruling TDP has promised to build a capital city of world-class standards, which would be accessible from all the regions of the state.
The report of the Centre-appointed committee, headed by former Union Urban Development Secretary KC Sivaramakrishnan, was submitted to the Union Home Ministry a couple of days back and made public last night.
The development of a capital city is very much needed. It is necessary to look into other factors while constructing this capital city. A lot of meeting is going on for the development of this city and other related works.
