Andhra Pradesh Municipal Administration Minister P Narayana and state government’s official representative in New Delhi Kambampati Ramohan Rao have met Shivarama Krishnan Committee today at New Delhi and conveyed the state government’s opinion and preference over the location for building the new capital. Since, the minister has categorically stated that the government is keen to build the new capital between Vijayawada and Guntur cities probably they may conveyed the same to the committee members today.

Hence, it is understood that the committee can table its report the Central government very soon. However, now seems there will be delay from state government’s side as it recently formed a committee to study and recommend the design of the capital. The committee which is going to visit other states and countries for this purpose was given three months’ time to submit its report to government. Government is planning to start the construction activities within next six months.
