The AP cabinet has taken a key decision to restore the area of the capital of Andhra Pradesh. During the YSRCP regime, the CRDA was reduced to Amaravati. This significantly reduced the area of the capital.
The cabinet meeting was held on Wednesday, presided by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Previously, the CRDA was established in an area of 8352 square kilometers in the joint Krishna and Guntur districts. During the YSRCP regime, it was reduced significantly and limited to the capital villages.
The CRDA was reduced to damage the basic structure of the capital of Amaravati. With the reduction to an area of 2328 square kilometers, the capital lost its identity. The cabinet has recently taken a decision to restore the establishment area of the CRDA in accordance with the government’s decision to continue the capital of Amaravati.
The cabinet has also decided to include 52 mandals in Palnadu and Bapatla Urban Development areas and 160 villages in Palnadu in the CRDA. The Cabinet has approved the establishment of an Urban Development Authority in Pithapuram, which is represented by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan.
The Cabinet has approved the AP Land Grabbing Act 1982 Repeal Bill. The proposals brought by the Revenue Department have been approved as several provisions are an obstacle to filing cases against land grabbers. The government intends to bring the Land Grabbing and Prohibition Act. With this, the old law will be repealed.
As complaints of land encroachment have been received on a large scale in the state, it has been decided to bring the Land Grabbing Act Repeal Bill to bring a comprehensive law. The old law will be repealed and a new law will be formulated in the upcoming Legislative Assembly. It has been decided to increase the retirement age of judicial officers in AP by one year.
This increase will come into effect from November 1. The law will be amended in the Legislative Assembly. Ratification will be done on some aspects of liquor sales and excise policy.
