After months of locating a suitable place and putting an end to speculations, the Sivaramakrishnan Committee appointed by Centre has reportedly identified MarturVinukonda-Donakonda region as ideal for the location of new capital of AP.
The apparent reason is that both these places have more than 5,000 hectares of wasteland, including degraded forest land and also mentioned it has an existing railway station on the Bangalore-Guntur railway line.
This is a key point on the proposed Kalahasti to Nadikudi section. Pouring cold water on the Chandrababu government’s plan to locate capital at Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali-Mangalagiri stretch, the committee reportedly came up with a valid justification.
They have stated that such a move would completely destroy the natural eco system here and agriculture. The committee also reportedly found fault with the state government declaring its plans to have a temporary capital near Vijayawada-Guntur.
