Officials told to prepare DPRs for overall development of Vijayawada

Vijayawada: With an aim to fast track the overall development of Vijayawada city, the NTR district administration, along with the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation(VMC) and other concerned departments, has resolved to prepare detailed project reports (DPRs) for development works to be executed in the city.
With the TDP-led NDA govt resolving to expedite capital city Amaravati works, Vijayawada which serves as the gateway to the capital city, has been experiencing increased business activity. This has heightened the need for an infrastructure overhaul and an expansion of civic amenities in the city.
In this regard, Vijayawada MP Kesineni Sivanath (Chinni) directed concerned officials including NTR district collector, VMC commissioner, NTR district police chief, and other relevant officials to prepare comprehensive DPRs for their respective departments to ensure best possible services to citizens.
As the state govt, in collaboration with the Union govt, plans to construct a mega flyover from Mahanadu Junction to Nidamanuru, apart from initiating works on the Gannavaram-PNBS metro, Vijayawada is poised for exponential growth. To facilitate smooth traffic flow and ensure faster completion of flyover and metro projects, authorities have been instructed to develop alternate routes along these stretches.
Emphasis has also laid on creating additional parking spaces, constructing new flyovers and roads, interlinking new roads with existing ones, and beautifying key junctions across Vijayawada.
MP Sivanath urged officials to undertake beautification projects along the river bund, install protective railings on hills, enhance KR Market and Sitara Junctions with swanky water fountains, develop Gandhi Hill, expand ChittiNagar Tunnel and Gollapudi 200-feet road, and carry out canal embankment beautification works in Krishna Lanka, including walkways along the canals.
He also stressed the need for more public parks along the canals and additional green spaces to provide a pleasant atmosphere. He suggested setting up small food courts amid green spaces to serve quality food to citizens.
Officials have been instructed to coordinate with relevant departments and prepare comprehensive DPRs on a war footing to expedite the execution of these projects in the city.
