NHAI begins land drive for ORR work in Krishna district

Vijayawada: The Amaravati Outer Ring Road (ORR) project has gained fresh momentum with the Centre approving the state govt's proposal to expand the road's width from 70 metres to 140 metres. In response, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has accelerated the land acquisition process, submitting requisition proposals for the greenfield alignment around the Vijayawada–Guntur–Tenali urban cluster. Following this, the Competent Authority for Land Acquisition (CALA) and Krishna district joint collector Geetanjali Sharma directed the Vuyyuru tevenue divisional officer (RDO) to initiate land acquisition and secure 3A proposals for an extent of 390.21 hectares. This includes both private and govt lands in Kankipadu and Thotlavalluru mandals of Krishna district. The Amaravati ORR is set to pass through 121 villages across 23 mandals in six districts — NTR, Krishna, Guntur, Palnadu, Bapatla, and parts of Eluru. In Krishna and NTR districts, the alignment will cover mandals such as Gannavaram, Unguturu, Kankipadu, Thotlavalluru, Veerlupadu, G Koduru, and Mylavaram, necessitating land acquisition in nearly all affected villages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Currently, the CALA has instructed the Vuyyuru RDO to obtain 3A proposals from tahsildars in Kankipadu and Thotlavalluru mandals.
