Nellore Municipal Corporation cracks whip on illegal layouts
Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC) officials have initiated a special drive to remove illegal layouts and unauthorised constructions across the city. They demolished unauthorised constructions in four layouts, including Garden City Extension in Ambapuram, Sri Sai Brundavanam Smart City Phase A&B in Gudipallipadu, and Sri Sai Nagar Phase-I and II in the city. As part the drive, the officials of Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), Regional Deputy Director of Town and Country Planning (RDDTP), Urban Local Body (ULB) and Urban Development Authority (UDA) have been jointly conducting the raids at various layouts in the city. Based on the complaints received at the DTCP office, the NMC officials identified the illegal layout and started demolishing unauthorised constructions this week. According to Andhra Pradesh Layout Rules, 2017, NMC has issued guidelines to the Registrar and Electricity Department not to register such properties and provide them electricity. In a public notice, the NMC advised the property buyers not to purchase any plot in unauthorised layouts as the government will not give building permissions and other approvals for basic facilities such as drinking water and electricity. It also warned the builders and developers of stern action against illegal constructions under A.P. Municipal Corporation Act, 1955. NMC Commissioner Y.O. Nandan directed the planning secretaries to monitor the construction of new buildings within their ward secretariat limits and file chargesheets on those constructed in violation of building permissions. He suggested to personally serve court summons to the building owners of the illegal structures. Mr. Nandan further asked the secretaries to identify the unauthorised layouts at the construction stage itself and bring them to the notice of higher authorities. He directed them to respond to the building applications in their DPMS logins within 24 hours and take appropriate action, and also assured to resolve the issues received at the public grievance redressal platform within stipulated time.

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.
