Collector orders expediting housing projects
Puttaparthi: Collector T.S. Chetan has directed housing officials to expedite the ongoing housing projects in the district. Addressing a review meeting at the Mini Conference Hall in the collectorate on Tuesday, the collector emphasized the government's prestigious plan to conduct a mass 'Gruhapravesam' in June and hand over 3 lakh houses to beneficiaries across the state. He stated that 10,368 houses must be completed in the district by June 12, but 7,020 of them are still pending. The collector instructed those reviews on housing progress be held at the division level under the supervision of RDOs and also at the mandal level by local officials. Noting that the summer season is favorable for construction, he urged engineers and field staff to meet their targets. He reiterated that housing construction is a vital component of the government's 'Swarnandhra Vision 2047,' which aims to ensure housing for all by 2029. Additional Financial Assistance for SC/ST/BC Beneficiaries: The collector outlined special financial assistance announced by the state government under the AP Housing Scheme. SCs: Rs. 50,000, BCs: Rs. 50,000, STs: Rs. 75,000, PVTGs: Rs. 1,00,000. This aid is being implemented through a dedicated G.O.

Construction of capital city is nothing but restoration of AP's pride, says CM Naidu
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has urged the full strength of the TDP, JSP, and BJP cadres to actively participate in the grand relaunch of Amaravati's capital development works, to be flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 2. In a teleconference held on Wednesday with MPs, MLAs, senior party leaders, and booth-level workers, Naidu described the occasion as a 'historic moment' in Andhra Pradesh's development journey. 'This is not just about Amaravati, it is about restoring pride, growth, and governance to our State,' he said. PM Modi will lay the foundation stones for projects worth Rs 49,040 crore in Amaravati and an additional Rs 57,962 crore for national-level works linked to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and Indian Railways, Naidu announced. Attributing the NDA's 93% success rate in the elections to the public's faith in its promises, Naidu said the government, despite financial constraints, has delivered on welfare and development initiatives over the last 10 months. He also reaffirmed that the Polavaram project will be completed by 2027 and highlighted major investments, including TCS in Visakhapatnam and Rs 5,000 crore by LG at Sri City. The Chief Minister said AP is now attracting record-high investments and has launched the Swarnandhra Vision 2047, aimed at decentralised, inclusive development. He refuted allegations of land being undervalued in Visakhapatnam, terming them part of a false narrative propagated by the previous YSRCP government. 'They looted the State through wine, mine, sand, and land,' he remarked.
