VUDA to take up another 100-ft road
To promote connectivity in Visakhapatnam Metropolitan
Region (VMR), VUDA has taken up development of another 100-ft Master
Plan road in Madhurawada zone.
Keeping in view the
demand from the locals and the directions from Lok Ayukta, VUDA has
initiated the formation of new Master Plan road connecting the national
highway at Durga Theatre to Bakkannapalem junction, which is about 1.8
km.
VUDA Vice-Chairman N. Yuvaraj asked officials to
finalise the road development plan with the GVMC officials for starting
the work. Proposals of shifting the electric poles, settlement of
Transferable Development Rights to the land-losers are among the issues
yet to be finalised.
Some locals approached the Lok Ayukta seeking that a road be laid providing them connectivity.
Local
farmers and landowners losing part of their land met the Vice-Chairman
and appealed for compensation. Dr. Yuvaraj assured them of convening a
meeting with them to sort out the issues involved.
Later, the Vice-Chairman inspected Kommadi road works which are expected to be completed by January 15.
The
Vice-Chairman inspected the road work at Ganesh Nagar and the completed
work at Bhindranagar opposite cricket stadium. Chief Engineer I.
Viswanatha Rao, Chief Urban Planner R.J. Vidyullatha and Executive
Engineer M. Appanna were present.
