Panel to monitor Capital building
HYDERABAD: A day after the governments of Singapore and Andhra Pradesh signed an MoU for designing a master plan for building the state's new capital near Vijayawada, Municipal Administration Minister P Narayana announced that a six-member working committee consisting of three members from AP Government and three from Singapore would be constituted to monitor the progress of the master plan.
A 14-member Singapore designing team had a three-and-a-half-hour discussion with senior officials of different departments regarding the master plan for the new capital at the Secretariat.
The team was supposed to conduct an aerial survey of the capital region --Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali and Mangalagiri -- but it was cancelled as the aircraft developed a technical snag. Later, speaking to reporters at the Secretariat here, Narayana said the six-member working committee would monitor the progress on a day-to-day basis.
A joint working group of the two governments, to be co-chaired by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Singapore's Second Minister for Trade and Industry S Iswaran, is being set up for monitoring the progress of the project.
The entities of Singapore and AP Governments would cooperate in the planning, development and construction of the capital of AP as a modern, vibrant, sustainable and smarcapital city with a strong social amenities and efficient transport network, he said.
