Due to existence of local streams new capital would face frequent inundation
Transportation between Amaravati-Vijayawada and Guntur-Amaravati has been cut for the past two days due to overflowing of Kondaveeti vagu
Guntur: The new riverfront capital proposed by the Andhra Pradesh government would face frequent inundation due to the existence of various local streams in and around Amaravati. Transportation between Amaravati-Vijayawada and Guntur-Amaravati has been cut for the past two days due to overflowing of Kondaveeti vagu, Narukulla vagu, Yerra vagu, Ogeru and Nallamada streams.
The Telugu Desam government is planning to set up the new capital in and around Amaravati on the banks of the Krishna River, but the frequent inundation due to the overflow of local streams would be a big problem for the new capital. Five streams originate in the upland areas and join Krishna River at various point. The government plans to establish the secretariat and departmental offices in Amaravati and Tadikonda.
