Minister Narayana Continues Singapore Visit to Study Amaravati Development
On Thursday, Minister Narayana, accompanied by CRDA Commissioner Kannababu, held discussions with representatives of Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA). The talks centred on establishing efficient road and public transport systems in Amaravati, drawing inspiration from Singapore's advanced infrastructure. The LTA is responsible for the development of public transport, as well as walking and cycling infrastructure in the city-state.
The delegation also toured the JTC Poultry Processing Hub, Singapore's first integrated facility for poultry processing. The unit handles everything from live chicken processing to packaging and delivery, and also produces by-products from chicken waste. Minister Narayana noted that the Andhra Pradesh government, under the Disha initiative, plans to establish similar scientifically managed poultry waste processing units in the state.
This visit follows the high-profile mission led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, which began on 26 July. CM Naidu, along with ministers Nara Lokesh, TG Bharat, P. Narayana and senior officials, visited Singapore to promote 'Brand AP' and attract foreign investment.
During the visit, the delegation met the President of Singapore and held talks with top business leaders, CEOs and industrialists. The discussions highlighted Andhra Pradesh's resources, industrial policies, incentives, and land availability. CM Naidu also extended invitations to potential investors for a global conference scheduled in Visakhapatnam this November.
CM Naidu concluded his Singapore visit and returned to Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday, while Minister Narayana's team continues their engagements in the city.

CM Chandrababu Launches 'Annadatha Sukhibhav' Scheme, Promises Tech for Farmers
Prakasam, Andhra Pradesh – Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated the 'Annadatha Sukhibhav' scheme in East Veeraiyapalem, Darshi Mandal, Prakasam district, reaffirming his government's commitment to supporting farmers with technology and direct welfare initiatives. During the event, the CM distributed cheques to beneficiaries and engaged in a direct dialogue with farmers from a specially arranged platform in the fields. Addressing their concerns, he promptly instructed officials to resolve issues on the spot. Highlighting the return of order and governance, CM Naidu stated, 'There was anarchy and mismanagement before the elections. The mistake made in 2019 pushed the state into darkness. My only aspiration is that people should be happy despite challenges.' He praised the alliance with the BJP and Jana Sena Party, emphasising that it was formed in the state's interest to consolidate the anti-government vote. 'Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan came forward with good intentions. Together with the BJP, we aim to bring development and stability,' he said. Confident of national success, he added, 'The BJP will come to power at the Centre for the fourth time. TDP knows how to drive development. We have eliminated threats and restored order.' The Chief Minister criticised the previous administration for discontinuing widow pensions and highlighted the prompt reinstatement under his government. 'Wherever the beneficiaries are, we are ensuring pensions reach them. Andhra Pradesh is spending ₹32,000 crore annually on pensions, compared to Telangana's ₹8,000 crore,' he noted. Announcing a major welfare initiative, CM Naidu revealed that from 15 August, the government will roll out the 'Stree Shakti' scheme, enabling free travel for women across the state. 'This initiative will benefit around 2.62 crore women,' he stated.
