The Story in Brief
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday said Amaravati will be developed as a world-class capital based on five principles: a poles-free city, a blue city with abundant water bodies, a green city, a green-energy city, and a deep-tech knowledge city anchored by an emerging Quantum Valley. He was addressing a public meeting after inaugurating the Seed Access Road, a 22-km, nine-lane road built at Rs 1,520 crore, and a steel bridge over the Buckingham Canal.
Naidu also dedicated a newly completed residential complex for MLAs and MLCs at Rayapudi, comprising 12 towers with 288 flats. The chief minister said road infrastructure in Amaravati was being developed on the lines of planned access roads of ancient civilisations such as the Indus Valley civilisation. He added that the fully developed capital would be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2028.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that Amaravati will be 'police-free', a term not found in the sources but widely shared on social media, is a mishearing. Naidu said 'poles-free', referring to electric wires, not policing. Critics who mocked earlier designs as 'graphics' must now watch if roads and bridges connect genuinely to people's lives. The real test: will the 190-km Outer Ring Road and 96-km Inner Ring Road be completed on schedule, or will land acquisition and litigation stall them again?
