Residential Flats in Amaravati for MLAs and MLCs in Nine Months

Vijayawada: Assembly Speaker Chintakayala Ayyanna Patrudu has said the upcoming residential complex in Amaravati for MLAs and MLCs will be ready in nine months’ time.

The Speaker inspected the complex in Rayapudi area on Friday along with CRDA and assembly officials. Twelve towers with 288 residential flats will be available for the MLAs and MLCs. The work was taken up by the previous TD government but got delayed. Some 77 per cent of the work was completed by 2019. The works would be resumed and these flats would be allotted to the legislators, he said.

Patrudu said the previous government had neglected the construction works of Amaravati capital. Due to the delay, the estimated cost for these buildings had increased and the contractors who did the work in the past were unable to continue the work. An additional `300 crore would have to be spent for the completion of these works, he said.

“Most of the construction materials are rusted and some materials were stolen. CRDA officials have been asked to to complete the works make the flats available for state within 9 months,” the Speaker said.

Patrudu conducted a review meeting with CRDA officials. “There are leakages in the assembly complex building,” he said and asked CRDA to undertake the repairs. He also called for the setting up of an assembly library in the media annexure building.

He advised assembly secretary general Ramacharyulu to establish rooms for chairmen of various committees and a mini-canteen for the assembly visitors.

CRDA commissioner Katmaneni Bhaskar, Assembly secretary general P.P.K. Ramacharyulu, MLAs Vishnu Raju and Sravan Kumar and officials participated in this programme.
