High Power Committee Will Meet Today At CRDA Office

The High Power Committee - established to examine the recommendations made by GN Rao and BCG committees will hold its first meeting today at the CRDA office in Vijayawada. Chaired by chief secretary Neelam Sawhney, the group of ministers would discuss the capital issue ahead of a cabinet meeting to be held on Wednesday.

Since the CM Jagan Mohan Reddy's announcement about 3 capitals in the state with Executive at Visakhapatnam, Judiciary at Kurnool and Assembly at Amaravati respectively, there has been disturbance as from farmers who have given their lands for Amaravati. The protest in 29 villages of Amaravati is intensified, with the Boston committee report recommending the need for decentralization of administration.

Further, irrespective of the committee's reports, the YSRCP government is going ahead to make the Visakhapatnam as the administrative capital. The officials have reportedly identified the building for the secretariat in Visakhapatnam.

However, the government is likely to hold a separate assembly session to discuss the recommendations of the High Power committee before the announcement of the new capital. Let's wait how this tumult ends in the coming days.
