CM holds symbolic meets in 'AP govt transitional HQ' in Amaravathi
With six blocks under construction on a war footing, the government hopes to shift its functional base by June 15.
Vijayawada: A day after inaugurating the interim government complex at Velagapudi village in the state's new capital region Amaravathi, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu symbolically held two meetings in his chambers in the fourth block on Tuesday.
The campus has been named as 'AP Government Transitional Headquarters'. With six blocks under construction on a war footing, the government hopes to shift its functional base to Velagapudi from Hyderabad by June 15. One of the blocks will be for the state legislature and its next session will be held in the new capital only.
Since no auspicious date is available in the next few months, Naidu formally inaugurated the complex early on Monday morning.
As a sentiment, he went to Velagapudi for the second day on Tuesday and held a meeting with representatives of Indo-UK Institute of Health on the proposed health care facility to be set up in Amaravathi.
Naidu later conducted a meeting with officials from the Japan International Cooperation Agency for expediting the lending process for the Amaravathi Metro Rail project to be taken up in Vijayawada city.
