Hyderabad: Construction of AP’s new capital city Amaravati may be further delayed as about 70 per cent of the landowners who have given their lands for construction of the capital city have not given their consent on returnable residential and commercial plots. The AP Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) has extended the deadline again to get the consent of landowners on returnable plots.
However, CRDA did not get this from about 70 per cent of landowners. The state government has pooled about 33,000 acres of land mostly from farmers for construction of the capital city. According to the land pooling scheme, the state government has to return 1,000 square yards of developed residential plot per acre of Patta lands, either dry or Jareebu. At the same time, they will also be given 200 square yards of developed commercial plots for dry and 300 square yards of developed commercial plots for Jareebu lands per acre.
Recently, the state government has enhanced the commercial area to be given to landowners. As per new orders, the state government will give 250 square yards of commercial plot instead of 200 square yards per acre of dry Patta land and 450 square yards of commercial plot.
