The Andhra Pradesh government has filed an affidavit-cum-petition in the High Court, seeking an extension of five years on the deadline set for completion of the infrastructure development in Amaravati and handing over the developed reconstituted plots to those who gave their lands under the pooling scheme.
The High Court, in its order dated March 3, 2022, asked the government to complete the infrastructure development in Amaravati within a month and hand over the developed reconstituted plots within three months.
Special Chief Secretary (Municipal Administration) Y. Srilakshmi, in the petition, said that the development of the capital city was an ‘enormously time-consuming’ process and it needed 40 years to 50 years to ensure complete development of a capital city.
