Vijayawada: The Government of Andhra Pradesh would consider all lands and buildings of the Krishna riverbed for land-pooling proposal. Following a special report on riverbed violation titled ‘Storm brews over Gangaraju guest house’, published in The Hans India on Wednesday, January 27, the AP Government clarified its policy on the riverbed structures for capital construction.
Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) Commissioner N Srikanth put the record straight and said that the lands and buildings were under the purview of the land-pooling proposal. However, he said that the government would take a decision on the existing buildings and asserted that they would not allow any new constructions.
When asked about Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu laying foundation for the BJP’s new office on the riverbed, the CRDA commissioner said that no new constructions would be allowed in the CRDA core area. The constructions on the riverbed would be reviewed as per the norms of the River Conservation Act and other relevant rules, he added.
Even Communist Party of India-Marxist politburo member B V Raghavulu wanted clarification from Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu whether the riverbed lands were part of the land pooling. He sought to know whether the government would allow buildings on riverbed.
The CRDA chief reiterated The Hans India’s earlier report on the government’s decision to stop agriculture activity in the CRDA core region of 29 villages from May and would not allow the farmers to go for the next crop.
“The standing crops would be final as per the land-pooling orders and no new crop would be allowed,” the CRDA Commissioner said. The farmers would be allowed to harvest the standing crops in all the identified 30,000 acres spread over 29 villages. The CRDA would complete the target of pooling the 30,000 acres of land within the scheduled time of February 6, he said.
Additional officials have been assigned to take the consent letters from the farmers well before the deadline. Then they would move to the second step of applying the master plan that is being prepared by the Singapore government.
