Centre clears 140-metre wide ORR for Amaravati
Vijayawada: With the AP govt agreeing to shoulder land acquisition cost, the Centre has given green signal for a taking up 140 metres wide outer ring road (ORR) for Amaravati. Initially, the Centre agreed to give 70-metre wide ORR for Amaravati while chief minister wanted it to expand to 150 metres. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After deliberations with senior officials, union minister Gadkari agreed for 140-metre wide ORR. T hough named Amaravati ORR, it also serves the major cities of Vijayawada, Guntur and Tenala in the AP capital region. It will complement the Vijayawada by-pass road on the west side of the city. The Vijayawada east by-pass road was cancelled as the ORR on the eastern side passes very close to the proposed by-pass road. The technical appraisal committee (TAC) of union ministry of road transport and highways (Morth) headed by secretary apprised that a highway with a width of 70 metres is sufficient to take up six-lane road project as ORR for Amaravati. The committee felt that the right of way (RoW) with 70 metres would also be sufficient to expand the proposed six-lane to eight lane along with providing service roads on both sides. However, Naidu during the meeting with Gadkari insisted that Amaravati is being developed as one of the modern town in the country and the RoW with 70 metres for ORR would not be sufficient for the city's requirement in the next 50 years. He explained that they have already attracted huge investments to the capital city and it would become difficult to go for big ORR in future. He wanted the Centre to grant the ORR with 150 metre width with a promise to take the additional cost of land acquisition by the state govt. The Centre had already estimated that it would cost Rs.2665 crore for land acquisition for 70-meter ORR and asked the state govt to take the additional financial burden over and above it for taking up the 150-meter ORR. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Subsequently, Gadkari agreed to take up the 140 metre ORR and directed the officials to place the proposals before the competent authority. Naidu wanted to develop the ORR in a prestigious highway with 12-lane along with separate corridors for railway lane, metro corridors. "The ORR going to be the game-changer infrastructure project of Amaravati," said Telugu Desam Parliamentary Party (TDPP) leader Lavu Srikrishnadevarayalu. He said that Centre had also granted several road infrastructure projects connecting Amaravati ORR following the chief minister Chandrababu Naidu's insistence. He explained that Centre had agreed to connect ORR with two spurs to ensure better connectivity with capital city by scrapping the proposal to take up Vijayawada east bypass. The Centre suspended the Vijayawada east bypass as it found to be parallel to the alignment of the proposed ORR. Two separate connecting roads would be developed connecting ORR with the existing NH-16 in Guntur district. While one road would be developed between Chinakakani and Tenali and other would be taken up near Narakoduru on the outskirts of Guntur city.

NDA will never let YSRCP return to power: Pawan Kalyan
1 2 Markapuram: Deputy chief minister and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan said the NDA would ensure that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) does not return to power in Andhra Pradesh and that the people's interests would be fully protected. He alleged that the YSRCP had ruined the state during its five-year rule and claimed that people no longer trust the party. Pawan Kalyan laid the foundation stone for a drinking water scheme under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in the Markapuram constituency on Friday. Addressing the public gathering, he reiterated that chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu alone has the capability to rescue the state from crisis and put it back on the development track. In a strong response to reported remarks by YSRCP leaders that they would take NDA leaders to task, Pawan Kalyan said the ruling alliance would work together to ensure YSRCP never returns to power. "The YSRCP leaders are issuing ultimatums, claiming they will see our end after returning to power in the 2029 elections. We are committed to making sure they never return to power—not just in 2029," asserted Pawan. He stated that the NDA had never humiliated individuals or parties, even in defeat.

He stressed that opposition parties have every right to question the government on governance issues. "Unfortunately, YSRCP leaders are issuing threats to ruling party leaders, cadres, and even the public. We will not tolerate such behaviour," he said. He acknowledged some coordination issues among NDA leaders at the grassroots level but said these would be resolved. "CM Chandrababu Naidu and I have a clear understanding of our roles and limitations. We will continue working in harmony, and grassroots leaders must also align with this understanding," he said. Pawan Kalyan criticized the previous YSRCP government for ignoring public concerns. He highlighted that the new drinking water project for Prakasam district, worth Rs 1,290 crore, was secured under JJM, despite the Centre initially deciding to discontinue the scheme. He said he and CM Naidu met Union Jal Shakti minister CR Patil and requested the continuation of JJM, which the previous government had not utilised properly. He estimated that around Rs 84,000 crore would be needed to complete all ongoing drinking water projects across the state and blamed the previous administration for failing to secure central funds. He promised to personally monitor the implementation of the JJM and ensure its completion within 18–24 months. Pawan Kalyan also accused YSRCP leaders of encroaching on temple lands, stating such actions would not be allowed. Ministers Dr D B S Swamy, Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, former minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, MLA Kandula Narayana Reddy, and senior officials were present at the event.
