Vijayawada: AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu will be staying in a private guesthouse, which is within the Krishna flood bank limits, during his proposed three-day administration from the city. The location was apparently chosen following suggestions from vaastu pundits. This is in the backdrop of the government identifying the private guesthouse and several similar buildings as illegal constructions and issuing notices. The government has also announced that action will be taken against the building owners. Opposition parties are asking how Mr Naidu agreed to stay in an illegally constructed guest house.
Officials had selected private guesthouses and residences for Mr Naidu’s accommodation. Of this lot, officials selected the private guest house which is in the limits of Krishna flood banks near Prakasam barrage following suggestions of vaastu experts of Mr Naidu. The guest house is on the north face and the Krishna flows from south to east. This makes for good vaastu, but we don’t know the legalities, said vaastu pundit K. Atchi Reddy.
As per the River Conservancy Act, all permanent constructions wit-hin the Krishna flood bank is illegal. Several committees including the Public Accounts Committee of the Assembly and the Lok Ayukta had questioned the irregularities and instructed the government to take action against the illegal structures.
Recently the irrigation and revenue departments issued notices to owners of all illegal constructions. AP irrigation minister inspected all the buildings and announced that action will be taken. Left party committees led by B.V. Raghavulu and K. Narayana have visited the areas and demanded that the government remove the illegal structures.
