The state government on Thursday formed a committee to study the requirement and utilisation of buildings in Amaravati. Chief secretary Adityanath Das would be the chairman of the nine-member committee.
The government issued orders constituting the committee with AP Land Acquisition secretary, GAD principal secretary, municipal administration and urban development principal secretary, principal finance secretary, law secretary, Amaravati Metropolitan Region Development Authority (AMRDA) commissioner, planning secretary and principal adviser to the chief minister as members.
The AMRDA commissioner had earlier in December 2020 informed the state government that a decision is required in respect of secretariat, HoD towers and permanent high court building in accordance with the AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Act, 2020. The government also has to take a decision on the unfinished buildings and apartments, the AMRDA commissioner said.
Based on this, the state government constituted the committee to study and recommend to the government on buildings, housing units which are essentially required for the legislative capital and also suggest future course of action regarding unfinished apartments, bungalows and other essential buildings.
The committee was also asked to “explore the means for reducing burden on the exchequer.”
