Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) has identified three land parcels, measuring 363 acres, for developing MIG (middle-income group) plots.
These layouts will come up in GS Agraharam (140 acres), Ramavaram (130 acres) and Palavala (93 acres) in Vizag suburbs.
The VMRDA sent the proposals to the state government and a government order in this regard is expected to be released in the next few days.
The state government is planning to develop MIG plots in the urban local bodies across the state under ‘Jagananna Smart Towns’. The demand survey for the MIG plots under this scheme received about 3.9 lakh applications from the prospective buyers. As part of the same, the VMRDA identified three different land pockets in the district. As per preliminary guidelines of the scheme, the plots will be developed in three different sizes – 150, 200 and 240 square yards.
