29 parks developed in Nellore rural with ₹7 crore
The ambitious project taken up by Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy to develop the dilapidated parks in his constituency goes beyond mere beautification. It aims to retrieve public property worth ₹150 crore from the clutches of land grabbers.
The MLA minced no words while announcing his decision to go all the way to bring back the lands to be used for public use.
A three-day programme launched by the MLA — 'Chandranna Parkula Bata' — to build compound walls to all the parks as a measure to safeguard them from encroachment in future came to a close on Friday.
The MLA launched developmental works in 30th, 37th and 38th divisions of Nellore Municipal Corporation, falling under his constituency limits, by breaking the ground at a public park on Friday.
Mr. Reddy expressed satisfaction at the support extended to his initiative by Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development Ponguru Narayana, the MLA of the adjacent Nellore city constituency, as well as the Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy.
Intending to ensure public involvement to his drive, Mr. Sridhar Reddy said that the parks, once developed and beautified, would be handed over to the local communities, who would have to take care of their maintenance and upkeep.
