Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is all set to lay the foundation for construction of houses for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in the R5 Zone in Amaravati on July 24.
The State government has conceived the zone and is proceeding with the project despite objections raised by the Amaravati farmers and the issue pending adjudication in the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
The Amaravati farmers insist that the land constituting the R5 Zone is not meant for the EWS project, but is intended to have houses built for the daily wage earners and BPL families, and earmarked for LIG housing for certain categories of employees and persons, who are part and parcel of the process of development of the capital city of Amaravati.
