Will this be the end for Amaravathi?

If the recommendations of the six-member panel comprising urban planning experts and headed by retired IAS officer G. N. Rao become a reality, the chapter of Amaravathi will be closed.

YSR Congress president and chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy announced in the state assembly of making three capitals in Andhra Pradesh with Amaravathi as Legislation capital, Vishakapatnam as Executive capital and Kurnool as Judicial capital.

The recommendations are on the same lines of what CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had said earlier and completely different from what TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu had planned for Amaravathi, which was to be developed as a global city.

The G N Rao committee came up with a plan to divide even the legislative capital and also judicial capitals. The high court be established at Kurnool, apart from setting up high court benches at Amaravati and Visakhapatnam as part of the decentralisation of development. It suggested that the summer session of the state assembly could be held in Visakhapatnam and monsoon session in Kurnool because the climate in Amaravati would be too hot in summer and it would be flooding there during monsoon.
