Capital Farmers donate annual Payments
Hyderabad, Sept 12 (INN): In a supportive gesture, farmers from Thullur region met Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in Vijayawada and handed over a cheque of Rs 3, 52, 675 for the Capital Development Committee. They have donated the annual rent they received from the government towards the capital development.
Appreciating their spirit, Chandrababu Naidu said that every person from every section of the society must come forward to partner in this capital building process. Creating a land bank of 33,000 acres through land pooling is a first time in the history, which could not have happened without the support of farmers and people, he added.
'The Foundation stone ceremony on October 22 will mark a new start in the history,' the Chief Minister said. He also added that the Prime Minister is willing to support the state in all means for building a world-class capital.
Given that Singapore has prepared the capital city master plan free of cost, the Chief Minister appealed to the Telugu people across the globe to be partners in building the capital. 'Our capital city should show our unity and reflect our strength to the world,' he said.
Farmers Peravali Chandrasekhara Rao and AdusumilliSubramanyam said that they will further donate the amount they receive along the years, which will sum up to nearly Rs 60 lakh.
