VIJAYAWADA: Union minister of state for rural development Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar on Thursday called for expeditious resolution of long-pending issues of the Amaravati farmers during a virtual meeting of the CRDA’s 3-member panel.
The panel reviewed matters related to land pooling, compensation, rehabilitation and development works in the capital region.
Municipal administration minister P. Narayana, Tadikonda MLA Tenali Sravan Kumar, CRDA commissioner Vijayaramaraju, additional commissioners Bhargava Teja and Karthik, Guntur collector Saikanth Varma, and joint collector Ashutosh Srivastava participated in the meeting.
A key issue discussed was compensation for residents who lost house sites due to road widening works in Tadikonda. When CRDA officials sought 45 days to process compensation and transferable development rights bonds, emmasani noted that a similar assurance had been given earlier. The commissioner said efforts would be made to expedite the process.
The committee also reviewed proposals relating to the Floor Space Index (FSI) for residential and commercial plots, particularly those exceeding 2,000 square yards. The CRDA commissioner said any increase in FSI would be determined based on road widths and planned parking infrastructure.
He said consultations with farmers would be held next week to address concerns and obtain feedback.
The committee approved relief measures for landowners affected by the NSP project. Families required to vacate their homes would receive `10,000 per month as house-rent assistance for a year. Beneficiaries allotted alternative plots would be given three months to relocate after the layout development is completed.
MLA Sravan Kumar urged the authorities to ensure connectivity on both sides of Thullur village, which is likely to be divided by a proposed road project. Officials said a plan was being prepared to address the issue.
The commissioner also stated that amendments sought by newly participating land-pooling farmers in Form 9.14B would require cabinet approval. He said, as far as possible, plots allotted to such farmers would be located within their respective village limits.
The committee would meet again in two weeks to review progress on pending farmer-related issues and development works in the Amaravati capital region.
