Development works worth ₹64 crore will begin at the Jagananna Smart Township at Dharmavaram on Friday, with MLA Kethireddy Venkatarami Reddy and Anantapuramu–Hindupur Urban Development Authority (AHUDA) Chairman Mahalakshmi Srinivas performing the bhumi puja for the project.
Meanwhile, the last date for booking plots has been extended till March 11. Out of the 1,273 plots available in three different sizes, only 350 applicants have booked the plots by paying the initial 10 % amount. “Interested people are waiting for development work in the 120 acres identified for the smart township project, so that they can be assured of completion of the project by the time they get possession of the land,” said AHUDA Project Officer M. Hariprasad.
February 11 was the last date for submitting applications and the lottery for allocation of specific plots was supposed to be drawn. However, in view of the less bookings, the AHUDA has decided to draw the lots on March 11, he said.
