Altogether, the government has 53,000 acres of land in the capital region. Of the total 53,000 acres, the State government has announced that it will allot 900 acres for construction of government buildings.

As per the existing master plan, 10,000 acres will be allocated to farmers as per the agreement. Another 10,000 acres will be used for infrastructure development. The remaining 13,000 acres will be in the hands of the government.

The government departments are waiting for the announcement of the government on allocation of sites for construction of buildings. Some government departments want to mobilise funds from donors or utilise own resources for construction of new buildings in the capital region.

The State government too allotted funds for construction of new buildings for the government departments. CPM CRDA region coordination committee convener Ch Baburao said the government must announce how much land it would allocate to each department in the capital region.

He said the State government has taken lands from farmers promising it will construct the capital with the lands taken from them. He said that some government departments are struggling to get huge buildings in Vijayawada or Guntur for setting up new offices as Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is insisting that all State government departments must be shifted from Hyderabad to either Vijayawada or Guntur by June 27.
