HYDERABAD: The Government of Andhra Pradesh has suggested to the Amaravati Capital City Municipal Corporation (ACCMC) to develop the area into a full-fledged urban agglomeration, according to the notification, which was issued on Monday, January 4.

The projected capital city included 29 settlements, however, the proposed ACCMC only includes 16 of them and all are located in the Thullur block. According to the announcement, they will be amalgamated with three other villages in the Mangalagiri block of Guntur district to establish ACCMC. Starting on January 6, a notification issued in the name of Vivek Yadav, District Collector, Guntur, called for the holding of “grama sabhas” in these 19 villages to solicit public input on the new corporation’s creation. “The grama sabhas will be held with the assistance of officials from the Department of Revenue and the Department of Police, which are closely following the COVID-19 protocols and ensuring that there are no law and order conflicts. Villagers’ views would be collated and given to the state government for future action,” said A Srinivas Rao, Development Officer, Thullur Mandal parishad .
