​Vijayawada: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu began his regular work on the premises of the new Secretariat at Velagapudi on Tuesday just after one day of its inauguration. He is the first to occupy the office in the yet-to-be completed building as the employees are scheduled to move to the new secretariat in three phases from June to August this year.
Holds meeting with UK and Japan delegates
The Chief Minister had walked into the building in the afternoon from his residence even as the workers were found busy in construction, to be completed by first week of June.
Security has been beefed up throughout the premises since morning. Workers were only allowed inside after frisking. Security has been strengthened at all important places along the route from Naidu’s Undavalli residence.
The Chief Minister’s entry into the new Secretariat and his commencing of work from there has changed the ambiance of the villages where people, having lost their work, are used to be found discussing about Amaravati at the bus stops and tea points.
They were alert when Naidu had arrived for his routine and stayed back in the unfinished premises. Arrival of delegates from the United Kingdom and Japan to hold talks with the Chief Minister at the new Secretariat had reaffirmed their beliefs.
The Chief Minister held talks with the representatives of the Indo-UK Health Institute, who gave him a presentation on the master concept of the King’s College Hospital in London.
Naidu also asked for clarity on the government’s support to the King’s College Hospital and the health policies of the British government. He welcomed their initiative to establish a 1,000-bed multispecialty hospital at Amaravati, equipped with latest technology.
In his temporary chambers, Naidu signed a couple of statements related to Amaravati and the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA), including the government’s decision to finalise the allotment of plots to the farmers who gave lands for the capital building.
The CRDA has almost completed the process of allocation of plots to the farmers on paper, which is likely to be done physically in the next two weeks.
