Andhra CM tweets artists' impression of new capital Amaravathi, master plan to be presented today

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu's admirers believe that he always think big and to prove them right the Chief Minister has come out with a mega master plan for the new capital of Andhra Pradesh.

The brand new capital named Amaravathi will be situated between Guntur and Vijayawada on the banks of river Krishna. Naidu has already tweeted four pictures of the artists' impression of the brand new capital. The area master plan will be presented on Monday.

Naidu is currently holding a day-long meeting with the Singapore delegation in Rajahmundry.

The pictures tweeted by Naidu reveal that the new capital will look like a part of Singapore or Dubai. If things go according to the plan, it will be the most modern city in entire South Asia.

Naidu said Amaravathi would become the best capital city of the 21st century. Referring the city as the People's Capital and hoping to complete its construction at the earliest possible, Naidu said, "The capital is not only for administrative purposes. It should be dynamic and also have economic activity. The master plan provides an easy access to amenities such as schools, healthcare services, shopping malls, markets to make it a people’s capital."

Amaravathi will have lush green cover and plenty water bodies. Singapore agencies Surbana International Consultants and Jurong Consultants have prepared the master plan, as per Naidu's ideas of eco-friendly and smart capital, yet it will be a commercial hub for industries in the areas of agri-business and logistics, IT-enabled Services (ITeS) and pharmaceuticals.

"Singapore prepared the master plan according to what we have in our mind. The plan has laid out the infrastructure for delivering reliable supplies of electricity and water while managing solid waste and sewerage. Amaravati will be an ultra-modern, smart and liveable city," said Naidu.

He has already roped in E Sreedharan, the man behind Delhi metro, to advise him on Vijayawada–Guntur Metro.

The Chief Minister reiterated that the state government will do justice to the farmers who gave their land for the capital region. He also appealed to the Union government for the release of the funds for the new capital city and support for the state in policy and financial matters.
