Amaravati capital city plan: LPS notification on February 15

GUNTUR: The CRDA will release the new capital Amaravati LPS detailed notification master plan on February 15.

The process of preparing and releasing the master plan continues. The CRDA sources said that the final Amaravati city master plan would be released on February 15 and LPS notification-cum-master plan would be released in the second week of March with all peg marking and details.

The CRDA had released Amaravati draft plan, capital city draft master plan and Amaravati perspective plan-2050.

But as the pooled farmers and public claimed that there was no clarity in the released master plans about the proposed projects and LPS packages, the CRDA decided to release LPS detailed notification, similar to the master plan, clarifying all the doubts and objections of farmers and people of the capital region villages.

The CRDA released the Amaravati capital city master plan on December 25 and had given time till January 25 to submit objections, but majority people of the capital region villages did not file objections claiming that the master plan was in English and cannot be understood. They sought extension of time but in vain.

Pooled farmers N. Nageswara Rao and others lamented that despite repeated appeals, the CRDA put only zoning regulations and a few points of Amaravati master plan in Telugu, that too was incomplete.

Hence, they did not understand the master plan. They said that they sought peg markings of all areas with details of proposed projects and further about the places of reconstituted plots in all the villages.

They demanded that the CRDA at least release the LPS detailed notification-cum-master plan with all details in Telugu before the distribution of reconstituted plots.

G. Naresh Reddy and others of Penumaka alleged that the English capital city master plan and Amaravati perspective plan-2050 is nothing but magic of graphics and designs without proper information.

They alleged that the government proposed Amaravati Express Highway and arterial roads were proposed from middle of the farmer’s lands who did not offer their lands under the LPS to CRDA.

They claimed that they had asked the CRDA to give detailed information about the proposed structures and projects but in vain. They demanded that the CRDA should give all details in Telugu in the LPS master plan for the sake of the pooled farmers and residents of the capital villages.
