Grievances related to land issues high in Vizag, says Revenue Minister
He was in the city on Monday to participate in the weekly grievance programme at the Collectorate as part of the government programme — Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu (Initiative of Good Governance). He received complaints directly from the people and interacted with them at the programme.
Later, speaking to media persons on the occasion, Mr. Prasad said that the State government is keeping a close watch on land grabbing issues, and will provide justice to the victims and punish the accused. He said that private lands should not be placed under 22 (A), but it happened during the previous government. The coalition government with Nara Chandrababu Naidu as the Chief Minister is giving utmost priority to the welfare of the people and also the development of the State, he added.
'Grievances related to land-related issues such as land grabbing, encroachments are high in Visakhapatnam and people are complaining about these issues in the weekly grievance redressal programme. We are preparing a detailed report on land grabbing and encroachments and will soon release this report to the public,' Mr. Satya Prasad said.
He said that the government is taking all steps to resolve the long-pending land issue of Panchagramalu in Simhachalam, adding that he had also reminded Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on this matter.
He said that there is a lot of scope for development of Information Technology in Visakhapatnam. He said that the much-awaited Visakhapatnam Metro Rail project will also be fulfilled and work will start soon and steps are being taken to stop encroachments along the coast as per the guidelines of the Coastal Zone Management Board.

GUNTUR: In a significant development for the agriculture sector, Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad inaugurated the newly constructed Velaturu Aqueduct across the Bhattiprolu Main Drain in the Krishna Western Delta region on Friday.

Accompanied by Collector J Venkata Murali and Vemuru MLA Nakka Anand Babu, Minister Satya Prasad performed rituals at Velaturu channel before releasing Krishna River water through five sluice gates. Completed in 75 days, the aqueduct will irrigate 31,675 acres in the two constituencies.

R&B minister slams YSRCP chief, questions credibility to face people
Palamaner (Chittoor district): Roads Pradeep Vennelakantiand buildings minister B C Janardhan Reddy launched a scathing attack on former chief minister YS Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, questioning with what face he intended to return to the people after allegedly pushing the state into ruin during his tenure. Along with local MLA N Amaranatha Reddy, he addressed a press meet in Palamaner on Friday. The minister said that the NDA alliance government is moving forward with the motto of 'taking governance to the people with welfare and development as its goal.' In contrast, he mocked the YSRCP for attempting to re-enter public life with the slogan 'Babu Surety-Betrayal Guarantee', calling it ridiculous and shameless. Highlighting the party's electoral downfall, he ridiculed the YSRCP for being reduced to just 11 Assembly seats, asking sarcastically, 'What happened to their 'Why Not 175' ambition?' Reddy alleged that Jagan earned the dubious distinction of sending IAS and IPS officers, and even his own ministers, to jail due to corruption. He questioned whether such a leader should be seen supporting rowdies, ganja dealers, and land mafia groups. 'Jagan's anarchic rule scared away investors, but under the current government, investments are queuing up like a flood,' he added. Referring to the previous government's push for three capitals, he blamed Jagan for destroying the state under that pretext. 'Now, under Chandrababu Naidu's leadership, the capital works are progressing in a way that will make the state stand tall across India,' he said. He also said the Polavaram project was being accelerated. Assuring development in the region, the minister promised to complete all the roads proposed by MLA Amarnath Reddy in the Palamaner constituency. DCCB chairman Amasa Rajasekhar Reddy was also present at the press meet. Earlier in the day, the leaders participated in the 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' (First Step in Good Governance) programme at Baireddipalle in the Palamaner constituency. They distributed NTR Bharosa pensions to beneficiaries. On the occasion, the minister said that despite financial constraints, the state government was effectively implementing welfare and development initiatives, and added that the NDA's 'Super Six' schemes have turned out to be a 'Super Success.'
